Decathalon

In 1976, Bruce Jenner won the Decathalon at the Olympics and set a new world record by scoring 8,176 total points after the ten events.  (I had 8,177 points but was disqualified when my routine urine sample returned positive for dog.)  The Decathalon consists of ten track and field events.  "Deca", meaning ten, and "thlon" meaning ... uh ... things.  Apparently, someone from General Mills was at the games and quickly painted this shot at the finish line of one of the events.
