RECORD-BOOK of USA vs Germany Team meet

Thorpe Cup

Meet History

Now the world’s most important nation vs nation team decathlon, this meet has been variously called the VISA CUP Meet or the JEEP Challenge. And in 2007 officially took the name of The Thorpe Cup in honor of 1912 Olympic Decathlon Champion Jim Thorpe, Carlisle, PA The concept of an annual team match was initially conceived by VISA-USA team coach Harry Marra and Team Zehnkampf coach Claus Marek in 1993. This is the 14h of a series of annual international team between the USA and Germany. In the current series, the first meeting was arranged in Aachen, Germany in 1993 where Stefan Schmid of Germany and the VISA USA team were victorious. The American team won 6 of the initial 7 team battles, one (the 1999 affair, also in Aachen) by a mere 5 points, then dropped two in a row. Team USA got back on the winning side in 2002 with a major win in Walnut, CA ,led by and repeated in 2003 in Bernhausen. The 2004 meet, scheduled for Kansas State U, was cancelled by the German federation in June, 2004. The US won the 2005 meeting in Bernhausen. And the 2006 meeting at Kansas State University in Manhattan. The USA holds a 10-3 won-loss advantage.

In 1996, with the meet in Edwardsville, IL, the USA squad set a world 5 man team record averaging 8121.4 points per man.

Only Kip Janvrin and Mike Maczey have won the individual title more than once. See below. Janvrin won in 1996 with a meet record 8462 and again in 2000. He has also placed 2nd and 3rd twice. The series stands at USA 8, Germany 3.

In the years before the current series, USA and German teams met twice. Team USA won both, with Bruce Jenner getting a world leading score in 1974 in Tallinn, Estonia (tri meet: USA/USSR/ Germany). Team USA won again in 1983 in Baton Rouge, LA. So, counting the two earlier team meetings, the Americans hold a 12-3 team advantage.
