As expected, Thompson won the Decathlon – the margin of his victory was 490 points (8663 v 8173) from Dave Steen of Canada.  As for me and my life, well it was (predictably) ‘boring because it rained all day.’  I must’ve been getting over that stage in any young boy’s life when they want to go outside and play when it rains and stay in and watch TV when the sun shines.
