Ashton Eaton at 2016 USA Olympic Trials day 3, the World’s Greatest Athlete

Ashton Eaton is the greatest athlete in the world. Competing in the decathlon, as the late Bob Mathias (48, 52 champion) noted to @runblogrun, ” You have ten events with which to make mistakes.” Ashton Eaton, as his coach Harry Marra will tell, you, is not only a fine human being, but a fine competitor. His victory this year, with some injury challenges, is even sweeter. Two years ago, while we were sitting in Glasgow, for the Commonwealth Games, Ashton Eaton looked at me and said, ” It is all about Rio.” Remember that.
