Erki Nool (born June 25, 1970 in Võru, Estonia) is an Estonian decathlete and winner of the gold medal for Decathlon in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.

 rediff.com: Estonian survives controversy to take decathlon gold
The 30-year-old Nool, reinstated in the discus after his three throws were originally all ruled fouls, ran a magnificent final 1,500 metres to take the title, timing four minutes 29.48 seconds and crossing the line almost 10 seconds ahead of Huffins.
Nool, who was called by the president and prime minister of Estonia immediately after his win, said: "The referee said it (the throw) was okay and I can't say anything after that.
Nool then looked to have blown his chances in the discus only for the appeal judges to rule that part of his foot had not left the throwing circle, giving him an effort of 43.66 metres and crucial points.

 Macey 'gutted' after missing out on medal | Summer Olympics | Sport | Telegraph
Richards, a former team-mate of Daley Thompson during his reign as undisputed king of the decathlon, is also coach to Erki Nool, the Estonian who came from behind to snatch the Olympic title in the 1500m, the last of the 10 events.
But while Macey regretted his missed chances and Nool rejoiced in his country's first gold medal in only their second appearance at the Games, Richards did not know whether to commiserate with the loser or celebrate with the winner.
After two failures in the discus, Nool's third throw was measured at 43.66m, only to be ruled out after he received a red flag for touching the edge of the circle with his foot.

Nool's entire decathlon result was in some doubt after the discus, when all three of his efforts were adjudged to be foul throws.
Erki Nool may not be a household name like Marion Jones or Michael Johnson, but his win was not ultimately a great upset - he was European decathlon champion in Budapest in 1998 and sixth in Atlanta four years ago.
Hämäläinen slumped to 23rd place, despite advance hopes that he might be an outside hope for a medal or a place in the top six, and the rising young star Heikkinen retired on day one after failing to get a score in the long jump.

November 2000 - The fact that Erki Nool won such a clear victory in the decathlon is also a medical success because, in preparation for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, the thirty-year-old Estonian was suffering acute achillodynia.
I had trained hard, worked towards it for a long time, but the fact that I had won did not sink in until all the pressure and stress had melted away.
Achillodynia is a painful condition affecting the ten-dinous tissue, the Achilles tendon insertion, or the synovial bursa at the Achilles tendon insertion, often caused by strain.
