To review that career sequence: the elite decathlete won bronze at the 2013 IAAF World Championships; gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, silver at the 2015 IAAF World Championships; gold at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto; and bronze at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He won the prestigious Hypo-Meeting in Gotzsis, Austria, in both 2013 and 2016. So, following the Summer Games, Warner, re-committing for the quadrennial toward the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, did the counter-intuitive thing: he moved his long-time training base from London to Calgary, parted ways with the only coaches he had worked with since high school and engaged veteran multi-events coach Les Gramantik to guide his efforts.

Les 4 et 5 septembre 1976, Guy DRUT, champion olympique du 110 m haies le 28 juillet à Montréal, avait attiré plus de dix mille spectateurs, cinquante journalistes et Antenne 2 en direct pour un défi un peu fou.

Fin des années 80, début des années 90 : 5 victoires de Christian PLAZIAT, n°1 mondial en 1987, 1988, 1989, multiple Champion, Recordman de France et Champion d’Europe à Split en 1990. 1992 : Le record du monde est battu par l’américain Dan O’BRIEN, triple Champion du Monde et Champion Olympique à Atlanta. 1994 : Venue de l’allemande Heike DRESCHLER, spécialiste du saut en longueur, qui réalise la meilleure performance mondiale de l’année. 1996 : 20ème anniversaire du DECASTAR, avec la participation de Jean GALFIONE, Champion Olympique à Atlanta.
