Götzis 2009 [Schrader 8522, Dobrynska 6558]

[Atanvarno]

Schrader had a long jump of 8.05 (26' 5'') but then got cramps in the high jump and the 400m.

He's fairly fast (for a decathlete).

He ain't no Curtis Beach! :wink:

1 KASYANOV Oleksiy UKR 4461

3 SCHRADER Michael GER 4341
4 WIBERG Nicklas SWE 4311
5 SEBRLE Roman CZE 4257

In Hardee's PR 8534 at the 2008 OT, he scored 4454 on the opening day. He scored 4159 on the 2nd day last year in Austin, when he had the meet in hand and took the 1500 easy. He has a decent shot at a PR.

Kasyanov has never hit 3900 on the 2nd day. Barring disaster, Hardee should beat him easily.

Schrader's score is a Day 1 PR. He's young and improving. Has never hit 4000 on the 2nd day, but that could happen tomorrow.

Wiberg must have had a massive Day 1 PR. Full decathlon PR is 8040.

Sebrle is Sebrle - a legend, a great competitor - but I don't think these days he can make up 134 points on Hardee on the second day (again, barring disaster).

So I think Hardee is in good shape to win this competition. But if Hardee has some off events and Schrader hits a few more PR's and is within striking distance, the 1500 could be interesting. He's fairly fast (for a decathlete).
