the only real threat to Daley's
continued domination of the decathlon
but his challenge was to fall short.
Equalling his personal best in the 100
metres (10.44) was a fine start by the
man from Notting Hill and he set new
personal records in the long jump and
shot putt to hold a 151-point lead
over his great rival.
A key moment came in the discus on day
two, after two poor throws, as he
hurled it over 46 metres to overtake
event-leader Hingsen in dramatic
fashion.
"It was like I went to the cliff and
looked over the edge," he declared.
