The first event of the Decathlon, the 100 metre sprint, was won by
Ayden Owens-Delerme of Puerto Rico.
Kyle Garland of the United States took the lead after the long jump with a jump of 7.92 metres, and held onto the lead for the following six events. In the hurdles,
Sander Skotheim, who was world leader at the time, was disqualified; following this he withdrew from the competition. As Garland performed well in the hurdles, this left him over 300 points clear of his closest rival,
Leo Neugebauer of Germany. However, Neugebauer outperformed Garland in the following three events, and took the lead following the Javelin throw. In the final event, the 1500 metres, Owens-Delerme finished second in the field, leading to him overtaking Garland and moving into second place. This left him 20 points shy of Neugerbauer's total, confirming the latter as the winner. == Records ==
