	Sporting Life - Olympics 2000
		Macey emerged from obscurity in Seville last year when he ran, jumped and threw his way to an unexpected silver medal in the World Championships - setting six personal bests in the 10 disciplines in a two-day drama that captured the attention of the nation.
		Macey suffered a stress fracture of the foot which needed a bone graft to be screwed into place by a metal plate which kept him out of action for well over a year.
		Macey's first decathlon since Seville will be in Sydney's Olympic Stadium as a hamstring injury suffered on his return from a training stint in America in the spring forced him to miss a couple of major multi-events meetings and delay his competitive bow until recently.

	The Observer \| Sport \| Dean Macey: Ten out of ten
		Dean Macey is at a sponsorship launch at Crystal Palace earlier this summer.
		Macey comes from Canvey Island and may have encountered enough smooth operators while he was growing up in that particular corner of Essex to know that he didn't want to be one.
		Macey's rise to near the top of the world decathlon rankings - his personal best of 8,603 points last August compares with the Czech athlete Roman Sebrle's world record of 9,026 set three months earlier - was little short of phenomenal given how quickly he managed it.

		DEAN MACEY made up for his Olympic heartache as he bravely battled his way to decathlon bronze for Britain at the World Championships in Edmonton.
		Macey scored 8603 points to shatter the career best points total he set when controversially missing out in Sydney last September by 36 points.
		Macey, who had led by one point overnight, was in contention until the eighth event when the growing list of injuries finally took their toll on his giant 6ft 5in frame.

		England's Dean Macey fought through the pain barrier to claim gold in the Commonwealth Games decathlon here on Tuesday and admitted it was a miracle that he had even finished.

	Sport \| Macey's golden dream in meltdown
		Dean Macey added his name to the list of notable absentees from the Commonwealth Games when he withdrew yesterday because of a hamstring injury.
		Macey, silver medallist at the 1999 world championships and fourth at the Olympics in Sydney two years ago, has been troubled by the injury since the spring and it forced him to cut short his warm-weather training in California.
		Macey has been plagued by injuries since he first emerged as Britain's best all-round athlete since Thompson when he won the silver medal at the 1996 world junior championships in Sydney.

		Macey goes into the final disciplines only 19 points off second spot though he is a massive 215 adrift of the leader Chris Huffins.
		Macey, who was second overnight after setting two personal bests yesterday, dropped to third overall after his discus group had competed earlier.
		Macey then threw 43.37m in the discus, but Sebrle bettered that by just over a metre to snatch second place by a narrow margin with three events - the pole vault, javelin and 1500m - left today.

	[No title]
		Macey's hopes of becoming the first Briton to win a medal in the 10-event competition since Thompson retained his title in Los Angeles in 1984 were dashed by the agonising margin of 28 points.
		Macey was frustrated after missing out on a medal but insisted he harboured no grudges to Nool, who had trained with the British youngster on Queensland's Gold Coast before the Games.
		Macey shattered his best by six seconds but Huffins also dragged out an improvement from his aching limbs to hold on to third place having gone into the event clinging to the lead he had established at the start.

		Macey has been the nearly man of athletics over the last six years - missing an Olympic decathlon medal in Sydney and Athens by finishing a heartbreaking fourth in both Games.
