Francis Morgan Ayodélé "Daley" Thompson CBE (1958 - present), is a former decathlete from Great Britain. He won the decathlon gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and broke the world record for the event four times.
A decathlon is ten track and field events, and is held over 2 days. Points are scored for each event and then an overall winner is declared. You can watch a video of Daley Thompson's 1984 winning decathlon performance below.
Fun fact: Before becoming a decathlete, Daley Thompson originally wanted to become a footballer. When he gave up his athletic career, he played professional football for Mansfield Town and Stevenage Borough FC.
"Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership."
