I always felt like they should do more to popularize the decathlon. If you have 6-8 guys competing it doesnt take too long. Unlike regular events you just see the 100m for 10 seconds and it is over. With the multis you can get more attached to the athlete and cheer for him event to event and follow it for 2 days. I compare it to golf, people watch them go through 18 holes and for multiple days and you by the end you start getting i guess emotionally attached and nervous hoping they can pull it off.
