GOETZIS, Austria — Damian Warner held on to his opening day lead to win the men's decathlon at the Hypo Meeting Sunday, while fellow Canadian Brianne Theisen won the women's heptathlon. Warner took the hurdles to increase his lead before winning the competition with 8,307 points, 125 clear of Carlos Chinin of Brazil. Gunnar Nixon of the United States came third with 8,136. It was a personal best for both Chinin and Nixon. Theisen defended a slim five-point overnight lead and finished on 6,376 to beat Dutch pair Nadine Broersen with 6,345 and Dafne Schippers with 6,287. Theisen briefly lost her lead to Schippers after the long jump but went top of the leaderboard again after the javelin and placed second in the 800 meters to wrap up the victory. — AP
