The Olympics at one time was used to determine who the greatest athlete was. Which event best epitomizes that?
The Decathlon
100 meter race
Long jump
Shotput throw
high jump
400 meter race
110 hurdles
Discus throw
Pole vault
Javelin throw
1500 meter race
or
The Triathlon
1.5 km Swim
40 km Bike
10 km Run
The Decathlon requires more different skills, but each of the individual events of the Triathlon is probably more grueling than the entire Decathlon. Also, you have to do all three events back to back, whereas the Decathlon does have quite a bit of waiting during some events and is split across two days. -

Imo The Decathlon is more about being athletic. The Triathlon is about having more endurance. So if you are gonna be the worlds greatest athlete you should be athletic. I'm choosing the Decathlon. -
Uzbekistan vs Russia boxing finals match was GOAT. Two guys running and swinging into each other like they're both possessed.

Those decathlon athletes aren't the best at any of the 10 events they compete in. They wouldn't medal if they competed in any one event, individually, against the best in the world.
But they are very good at all 10 events and they have the endurance to complete all of them in a short period of time. ? 's grueling. -

English Gardner, who ran the third leg of the race (4X100) told “Today’s” Sheinelle Jones that when she looked in her bag just before the final race, she saw only one spike. With just 10 minutes before the race start time, Gardner calmly told a coach she was missing a shoe.
“I’m normally not a person to forget my shoes. That’s kind of like, you know, a soldier showing up to a war without his guns,” Gardner said.
“Once again, Allyson, like the vet she is, pulled out an extra pair of shoes,” she said. “Definitely was a half size too big but there’s nothing that double socks couldn’t fix.”
Gardner says that after Thursday night’s time trial for the relay, which advanced them into the final, she returned to the apartment she shared with her parents in Rio and never touched her spike bag. Friday night at the stadium’s warm-up track, she left her bag in a tent as she warmed up. Just more than 10 minutes before the team was to report to the call room, she prepared to practice hand-offs with Allyson Felix. She went to her bag to get her shoes: “I opened my bag, and it looked like stuff had been moved around. And there was only one spike in it.” -
