"These kinds of events are the absolute catalysts for finding talent and I think inspiring generations.And sometimes you dont even see the benefit of these mass participative events until one has gone on to perform well.

Just wait until you hear a young kid say that he or she is successful because of the Delhi Half Marathon.So, these types of events have a lot of benefits," said Eaton.

The only one to have exceeded 9,000 points twice in a decathlon event also said that he has always wanted to travel to India, "I love experiencing the world and learning about different cultures, and India has been a place Ive always wanted to visit for an extremely long time.Its been such a bastion on our planet and has a rich culture.

I have already experienced the food, the traffic and the culture.Hopefully, I can see a lot more.
