RunBlogRun opines:
Kevin Mayer is one of the finest newest multi-eventers in the world. With Ashton Eaton retired, Mayer is now at the very top of the multi event food chain. RunBlogRun will be covering the multi events in the 2017 European Indoor Championships.
I remembered observing Mayer at the 2013 European Indoors heptathlon in Goteborg. I was quite impressed with his performance indoors, where he took the silver. In 2014, in Zurich, Kevin took the silver at the European Outdoor Championships decathlon. And as you remember, in Rio, Kevin Mayer took the silver, behind Ashton Eaton, in the decathlon.
Kevin Mayer is fast. His 10.81 for the 100 meters impresses, but his shot put, 15.97m, and his High Jump PB of 2.10 meters truly impresses. Watch Kevin Mayer in Belgrade, and in London this summer.
