The rising star of World decathlon is undoubtedly Australia’s 24-year-old Ash Moloney. In 2018 he won the World U20 Championships title and at his first crack at senior competition he placed an incredible third at the Tokyo Olympics.

He was involved in one of Australia’s most memorable moments of the Tokyo Olympics, when training partner Cedric Dubler, sacrificing his own goals and ran alongside Moloney in the last event, the 1500m, and shouted encouragement to him. He ran a three seconds PB which ensured he held off fourth and fifth places which were within 50 points of his final score of 8649 points – an Oceania and Australian record.
