Published by Aol on August 30, 2016

Ashton Eaton retained his title by tying the Olympic record in the decathlon at the Rio Games this month. 

He has now won successive Olympic and world titles to confirm his status at the best all-around athlete in the world -- and Eaton had the chance to reflect on the Games with AOL.com.

Q: Congrats on your accomplishments in Rio! Does experiencing that kind of triumph ever get old?

A: Not old, no, it's just different. It's like have two chocolate cakes at different times. It's the same chocolate cake but your experience is different each time -– it might be a different day –- it's just different.
