Overview

• In a ZDF sportstudio interview, the world champion recapped a shaky first day and a day-two surge with personal bests in the discus, javelin and 1500m, highlighted by a 64.34 m discus throw that is the longest ever by a World Championship decathlete.
• He described being utterly exhausted after the 1500m and said he declined a wheelchair at the finish before receiving his gold medal.
• Neugebauer said he continued celebrating in a London karaoke bar the night before his TV appearance, which left him hoarse but in good spirits.
• He is set to travel to Cameroon with UNICEF on Monday to visit child-aid projects and see family connected to his Cameroonian roots.
• He plans to remain U.S.-based as a full-time professional with the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the 9,000-point barrier as goals, and he was named Germany’s Sportler des Monats for September.
