GÖTZIS, Austria – Olympic decathlon champion Damian Warner won the 2022 Hypo Meeting Gotzis with a score of 8,797.
This was the sixth year that the London native, Ont, has won the Gotzis decathlon event, not including the 2020 competition canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Warner finished 350 points ahead of second-placed Lindon Victor of Granada.
He won mainly by the strength of his sprint, finishing first in both the 100m freestyle and the 110m hurdles.
Warner also finished second in the discus throw and third in the high jump.
The 32-year-old won Olympic gold at the Tokyo Games last year.
