Not illustrated. Excerpt: Francis Morgan Ayodl Thompson CBE (born 30 July 1958 in Notting Hill, London ), known commonly as "Daley Thompson", is a former decathlete from England. He won the decathlon gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and broke the world record for the event four times. With four world records, two Olympic gold medals, three Commonwealth titles, and wins in the World and European Championships, Thompson is considered by many to be the greatest decathlete of all time. The second son of a Nigerian father and Scottish mother, Thompson showed a remarkable aptitude for sport while at boarding school in Sussex.

In 1979, he failed to finish in his only decathlon of the year but won the long jump at the UK Championships. He then opened the 1980 Olympic season with a world decathlon record of 8,648 points at Gtzis, Austria, in May, and followed this with a comfortable win at the Moscow Olympics. After a quiet 1981 season he was in devastating form in 1982; back at Gtzis in May, he raised the world record to 8,730 points and then in September, at the European Championships in Athens, he took the record up to 8,774 points.
