This article also says, "So, the first decathlon world-record holder was the winner of the first completed meet. Karl Hugo Wieslander, a Swede, and Karl Ritter von Halt, a German, were announced world-record holders." which is, quite frankly, nonsense. There was no offcial World Record for the decathlon until 1922, when the Estonian athlete Aleksander Klumberg was ratified as the inaugural record holder for his performance on Sep 16/17 1922 in Helsinki, where he scored 7481.69 points.
