LONDON (CAN): Decathlete Damian Warner is competing in Talence this weekend only in order to make up for his below-par fifth at the World Championships when he was ill with norovirus, he told London Free Press. “If London went the way I thought it would, I don’t think I would’ve done another decathlon,” he said. “Since it didn’t go too well there and I was pretty upset, I didn’t want to end my season like that. I want to go out here and show people London was a fluke and it’s not going to happen again.”
