Timeline

1980

Bryan Ezra Tsumoru Clay (石井 積, Ishii Tsumoru, born January 3, 1980) is an American decathlete who was the 2008 Summer Olympic champion for the decathlon and was also World champion in 2005.

Clay was born in Austin, Texas and raised in Hawaii.

He is Afro-Asian.

His mother, Michele Ishimoto, was a Japanese immigrant to America.

His father, Greg Clay, was African-American.

His parents divorced when he was in elementary school and he was raised primarily by his mother.

He has a younger brother, Nikolas, who was also a standout athlete on the Azusa Pacific University track team.

1998

Clay graduated from James B. Castle High School (Kaneohe, Hawaii) in 1998.

2004

Clay won the silver medal at the 2004 Olympics, and finished first at the 2005 World Championships.

2005

They have a son, Jacob (born 2005) and two daughters, Katherine (Kate) (born 2007) and Elizabeth (Ellie) (born 2010).

Clay is a devoted Christian.

He believes that a balance of mental, physical and emotional health will help him in athletic competition.

He competed in track and field in high school, during which time he was coached by Dacre Bowen and Martin Hee.

He then attended Azusa Pacific University, an Evangelical Christian college near Los Angeles, California, where he competed in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and was coached by Mike Barnett, who still coaches him.

Clay still trains at Azusa Pacific University.

Clay decided to compete in the decathlon after persuasion from Olympian Chris Huffins.

2007

He was unable to complete the 2007 World Championships due to injuries, dropping out after four events.

2008

Clay won the gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in the decathlon.

His victory margin of 240 points in the 2008 Beijing Olympics was the largest since 1972.

The Olympic decathlon champion is referred to as the "World's Greatest Athlete" and prior to the Olympics, Clay was tested by SPARQ to establish his SPARQ Rating across a number of different sports.

The test is meant to measure sport-specific athleticism and in the football test Clay recorded a score of 130.40, the highest ever recorded up to that point.

By comparison, Reggie Bush scored a 93.38 on the popular test.

He is one of two Olympians featured on a special edition post-Beijing Olympics Wheaties cereal box; the other was gymnast Nastia Liukin.

Clay spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2008.

2009

His attempts to regain his World Championships decathlon title were thwarted by a hamstring injury in June 2009.

This caused him to drop out of the US trials; thus, he missed the chance to compete at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.

2010

He returned to action in 2010 and won the men's heptathlon at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships.

At the start of his outdoor season he won the 2010 Hypo-Meeting, holding off the challenge from Romain Barras.

2011

That attempt was quashed at the beginning of the second day, when he tripped over the 9th hurdle in the 110 metres hurdles, then off balance pushed over the 10th hurdle.

He was initially disqualified for pushing over the hurdle, but that decision was reversed, allowing him a mark for running 16.81, last in the field over a second and a half slower than the next best competitor.

Thinking he had been disqualified in the hurdles, Clay followed the hurdle accident with three straight fouls in the discus throws, but he still completed the competition.

2013

On March 23, 2013, Clay was inducted into the Azusa Pacific Hall of Fame in track and field.

Clay is married to Sarah Smith.
