A Canadian has captured decathlon gold in Götzis, Austria for a seventh consecutive year but unlike the previous six titles won by Olympic champion Damian Warner, this time Pierce LePage was victorious.
The Whitby, Ont., decathlete amassed 8,700 points, just a single point behind his personal best, to capture his first Hypo Meeting title.
