Markus Rooth feels stronger than ever heading into the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, despite his national decathlon record being broken. Rooth acknowledges Sander Skotheim as the clear gold medal favorite, stating it would be irrational for him to expect a win. He has achieved new personal bests in several events since June, indicating an upward trend in his form. The Olympic champion has increased his strength significantly and gained muscle mass. He emphasizes a "reasoned confidence" based on actual results rather than wishful thinking, a sentiment shared by his father and coach.
