DEAN MACEY

PERSONAL DETAILS Date of Birth: 12th December 1977 Nationality: British Club: Harrow AC Height: 6"5 Weight: 100 kg PROFILE Following his heroic performance in the face of injury to claim the BRONZE medal at the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton; Dean Macey has now established himself as a major name in international athletics. Dean Macey stormed onto the world scene at the 1999 World Championships in Seville by breaking six personal bests to obtain an outstanding SILVER medal. Battling with injury and against all odds his magnificent achievement was accomplished at the tender age of 21. Dean entered 2000 as one of Britain's main contenders for Olympic glory. However, an injury hit season meant he was unable to complete a competitive Decathlon prior to the Games. Even so, against all odds, and after an incredible first day that saw him smash two lifetime bests in the Long Jump and 400m to lie in 2nd place overnight, Dean finally finished a very credible 4th place, only 74 points off the eventual champion. Already being hailed as the new Daley Thompson, Dean has only been an athlete for the last six years. His potential as a decathlete was slow to emerge. Having competed originally in single events, he was finally persuaded to become a multi eventer in 1994 and immediately broke the English Schools Record. His meteoric rise has seen him reach the dizzy heights of 3rd in the world during the 1999 season, having recorded the second best ever score for a UK athlete; a score which only Double Olympic Champion Daley Thompson has bettered. Dean's media career has blossomed with his new found stardom although this has not affected him in the slightest, and he continues to live near his parents in his home town of Canvey Island, Essex. Since the World's last year, Dean has appeared on numerous television programmes ranging from Grandstand, A Question of Sport through to Blue Peter and was named The BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year as well as Young Sportsmen of the Year. Dean has consistently been a favorite of the media and his profile has rapidly grown. 2000 saw him team up with Mirror Sport as their official partner throughout the Olympic period and 2001 saw him partner up with the Evening Standard. In 2002 Dean was an integral member of the BBC's team covering the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, smiling in the face of adversity when injury prevented him from competing. In addition to this, he is now a member of the exclusive Team Oakley and an ambassador for both Cadbury's and Powerade. Dean plans to bounce back from the disappointment of missing 2002 with an assault on the World Championships in Paris, Summer 2003 CAREER HISTORY 2001 World Championships, Edmonton - BRONZE 2000 Olympic Games, Sydney - 4th place Broke Personal Best - 8567points 1999 World Championships, Seville - SILVER Ranked 3rd in the World 8347 Points at Arles - highest score since Daley Thompson BBC Sports Personality Young Newcomer of the Year Sports Writers Association Young Sportsmen of the Year Athletic Writers Association Newcomer of the Year 1996 World Juniors Championships, Australia - SILVER 7480 Points 1994 Won Octathlon at the English Schools Championship 5311 Points.
