As a close second, or even equal with the decathlon, I would place the winner of the TRIATHLON, (swim, cycle, run) next, as this too, is a much bigger examination of an athletes all-round abilities than just running, just swimming etc.
Thirdly I would place the winner of the modern pentathlon.

That's like saying bard is the best class because he can cast spells, fight and steal.
I don't see how being a jack of all trades means being best. I'm much more inclined to agree with what Cerek wrote above.
And one more thing, multiple posting is considered poor etiquette. Anyway, I won't mention this again; it was already pointed out to you by others few times before.
