Summary

Introduction

As a result of the spiritual crisis of Russian society, Western European individualism burst into the first place in our life with its success at any cost for the sake of power, profit and fame, and materialism as a preference for material success, success in creativity, in family happiness, in the search for truth (crisis of the Russian cultural code).In professional sports this manifested itself in the ever-increasing number of doping scandals associated with Russian athletes in the international arena, as well as in the deprofessionalization and irresponsibility of our coaches (40% of whom, according to Russian statistics, do not read sports educational and methodological literature), who are unable to methodically and pedagogically competently organize the training process at various stages of long-term sports training.As for sports officials, their incompetence, apolitical attitude, thirst for profit and indifference to the fate of talented Russian sports youth have already become a well-known fact in the history of Russian modern sports [Gafiatulina, Makadei, et al, 2019]. Decathlon is an all-around track and field event for men, which includes 10 types of track and field athletics. Decathlon was first included in the Olympic Games program in 1912 and has been held since in all major athletics competitions. Three times the European champion was the Soviet decathlete VasilyKuznetsov 1954, 1958, 1962. [Athletics: Encyclopedia, 2012: 227]
