decathlon daley double
daley thompson first competed in the olympics in 1976, finishing 18th in the decathlon at the age of 18. he was the youngest competitor in the event. four years later in moscow he won the gold medal. thompson returned to the olympics for a third time in 1984 and faced his nemesis, jürgen hingsen of west germany.
it was a close battle over the first seven events, but then thompson pulled away with strong performances in the pole vault and the javelin. with the gold medal secure, thompson needed to run the final event, the 1,500m, in 4:34.98 to break hingsen's world record. thompson exasperated the crowd for easing up at the finish line and stopping the clock at 4:35.00.
two years later, iaaf officials reexamined the photo timer results and discovered that thompson had completed the 110m hurdles in 14.33 seconds rather than 14.34 seconds. they added one more point to his olympic total and he was given a belated share of the world record.

1976年,戴利•汤普森在加拿大蒙特利尔第一次参加夏季奥运会比赛,他是十项全能比赛中最年轻的运动员,最终18岁的他在这个项目中名列第 18。四年后的莫斯科奥运会上,汤普森夺取了十项全能的奥运会金牌。1984年美国洛杉矶夏季奥运会中,汤普森遇到了宿敌,德国运动员辛格森的挑战。在前 七个项目中,两人的竞争非常激烈,随后,汤普森在撑杆跳高和链球比赛中将辛格森拉开,在最后的1500米跑比赛中,汤普森以4分34秒98的成绩打破了辛 格森保持的世界纪录,夺取十项全能金牌。两年后,国际田联重新检查了这次比赛的录象后发现,汤普森的110米栏的成绩应该是14秒33而不是14秒34, 他们又在汤普森的奥运成绩上加了一分,并在这个项目的世界纪录上加上汤普森的名字。
