Warner was sitting in second with 6,428 points, 72 behind Germany's Leo Neugebauer, after seven events. 😔⁣
•⁣
Damian Warner's hopes of repeating as Olympic decathlon champion are over. The 34-year-old from London, Ont., knocked the bar down on all three attempts at 4.60 metres in the pole vault to fall out of medal contention. 💔⁣
•⁣
After missing on his vault attempts, he dropped to 17th with two events to go.⁣
•⁣
Warner was looking to defend his Olympic title from the Tokyo Games in 2021, after he had set an Olympic record with 9,018 points. 🥇⁣
•⁣
Warner was looking to join American Bob Mathias (1948, 1952), Great Britain's Daley Thompson (1980, 1984) and American Ashton Eaton (2012, 2016) as the only two-time Olympic gold medallists in the men's decathlon. Absolutely devastating. ⁣
•⁣
Canada is still SO proud of you, Damian. 💜🇨🇦⁣
