BEIJING (Reuters) - American Bryan Clay outclassed the opposition to win gold in the Olympic decathlon on Friday, leading from start to finish in the two-day event.
Clay virtually wrapped up victory after the javelin, the second event of the evening, meaning he could coast home in the 1500 meters that concluded the 10 events.
Belarusian Andrei Krauchanka was second, with Cuba's Leonel Suarez producing a surging finish to sneak into the bronze medal position.
