t-and-f: Masters do the double deca, too!

Y ask: USATF rightly reports that Kip Janvrin won the Double Decathlon World Championships Sunday in Turku, Finland, with a two-day world-best score of 14,185 points. But USATF neglects to add that masters competed in the double deca (and double hep) as well. Check out:
