«Breaking News» Frenchman Kevin Mayer sets new decathlon world record

France's Kevin Mayer set a new decathlon world record on Sunday when he finished with 9126 points at the Decastar event in Talence, France.

World champion and Olympic silver medalist Mayer surpassed previous holder American Ashton Eaton's 9045 points recorded at the 2015 world championships in Beijing.

'That was an incredible display of ability! I'm super happy for @mayer_decathlon & and even more for the future of the decathlon,' Eaton said on Twitter.

'Important thing to me has always been to keep pushing the limit and inspiring others to do the same. The more 9K can become commonplace the better.'

Mayer made amends for missing out on the European title in Berlin last month, where he failed to register a mark in the long jump.

He threw a personal best of 71.90 metres in the javelin, Sunday's penultimate event.

He finished the decisive 1500 metres in just outside four minutes 36 seconds, having needed to finish in 4:49 to beat the previous record.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
