The last event of the Olympic decathlon is the 1500 meters run. This distance race tests the athletes' endurance and speed after completing a grueling two-day competition that includes ten different track and field events. The 1500 meters can significantly impact the overall standings, as it often serves as a dramatic conclusion to the decathlon.
Three Olympic decathlon winners from England are Daley Thompson, who won gold in the 1980 and 1984 Olympics, and he is often regarded as one of the greatest decathletes of all time. Another notable winner is Dan O'Brien, who, while representing the United States, has English heritage.
