	Sebrle rules decathlon world
		Roman Sebrle of the Czech Republic cemented his position as the world's greatest all-round athlete when he won the Olympic decathlon gold medal with an emphatic late surge on Tuesday.
		Sebrle kept in touch, however, his 14.05-second hurdles and 48.72-metre discus scoring well, and was able to cut the deficit to a mere 46 points in a marathon four-hour pole vault with 5.00 metres to the 4.60 of Karpov.
		Sebrle finished in four minutes 40.01 seconds, 17 seconds short of what he needed for 9,000 points, but he was clearly delighted as he accepted the congratulations of his weary rivals.

		Sebrle is just too consistent across the board.

		Talence, France - There were wins for the overnight leaders, Czech Olympic champion Roman Sebrle in the men's Decathlon, and for Britain's Kelly Sotherton, the Athens bronze medallist in the women's Heptathlon in the Decaster meeting, the last leg of the IAAF World Combined Events Challenge 2004.
		Clay needed to run the 1500m about 6 seconds faster than Sebrle to win the Decathlon, and Karpov about 10 seconds, so the suspense was huge as remembering the Athens' 1500m, Karpov was then the fastest and those three were separated by only 3.54 seconds.
		But Sebrle was again not to be denied and made the extra effort during the last lap to finish in 4:51.69, well ahead Karpov 5:00.21 and Clay 5:01.45.
