Niklas Kaul won a dramatic, hot, and humid decathlon in Doha in October 2019. His performance, and the performances of Maicle Uibo, silver, Damian Warner, bronze medalist. Niklas Kaul is a tremendous athlete and student of the sport. When I asked Niklas Kaul which athlete he admired in the decathlon event. Niklas smiled, and noted, “He is in this room.” In the back of the room was one, Ashton Eaton.

Ashton Kaul is a tremendous athlete. I look forward to seeing him compete this year.
MAINZ (GER): World decathlon champion Niklas Kaul’s first decathlon of the season will be in Ratingen on 7-8 May, informs Leichtathletik.de. “After that, I would like to start at the World Championships and the European Championship. From Ratingen to the World Championships, I planned a long period of preparation in order to fight for a medal at the European Championships three and a half weeks after the World Championships. The idea is that I tick off everything I have to do in training before the World Championships,” he said.
