Why it matters
Warner, a prominent Canadian track and field athlete, competing for a medal keeps Alberta and Canadian sports fans invested in the Commonwealth Games results.
London, Ontario's Damian Warner is locked in a close battle for the men's decathlon title at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, trailing Grenada's Lindon Victor by 35 points heading into the final two events.
The javelin throw and 1,500 metres remain on the decathlon schedule, meaning the standings could still shift before a medal is decided.
Warner's tight race comes as Canada continues to build its overall medal total at the Games, with the decathlon result set to factor into the country's tally once the competition concludes.
