What athletes, past or present, would(a) been talented in the decathlon?
I gotta throw Grant Holloway out there, the dude is world-class in about 5 different events! the 100m, 400m, 110m hurdles, long jump & high jump. Now he doesn't compete in all those events regularly, but when he has in the past, wow, he's of course the GOAT in the 110m hurdles, but he also jumped 7 ft 1 in the high jump in HS, jumped 27 feet in the LJ in college, ran a 44 split in the 400m, and is rumored to be able to run under 10 seconds in the 100m. He's amazing.
