We have done well in multi-events recently and we have Dean Macey in the decathlon.

It has been very quiet in Dean's camp and remember the surprise when he took the silver in the 1999 world championships.

Don't forget back then he was virtually unheard of. He had taken silver in the 1996 World Juniors and then had been in the doldrums with injuries for two or three years and was not even part of international athletics.

He has been hit by injuries and playing his cards close to his chest.

There's always a controlled leaking from inside these camps so maybe Dean is going well and I think he will give a very good account of himself and he might just spring another surprise.
