Canada's Pierce LePage produced two more personal bests on Sunday to move into pole position in the World Championship decathlon, but world record holder Kevin Mayer of France looks poised to overhaul him with two events remaining.
Olympic champion and hot favourite Damian Warner had been leading after four events on Saturday but pulled up with a hamstring injury in the 400 metres and had to withdraw.
The Canadian then surged clear as he launched his first discus throw 53.26 metres, a personal best by almost two metres, while Owens-Delerme was more than 10 metres behind to lose significant ground. Mayer, world champion in 2017 and twice an Olympic silver medallist, and American Zach Ziemek both cleared best-of-the day 5.40 to change the whole picture.
Mayer, who was sixth overnight and did not make the top three in any of the first seven disciplines, has javelin and 1,500 metre personal bests significantly better than his two chief rivals and barring a disaster should top the podium later on Sunday.
