Cedric Dubler (born 13 January 1995) is an Australian decathlete[1] who competed as Australia's first decathlete in 16 years[2] at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, placing 14th.[3] In 2014 he won Silver at the IAAF U20 World Junior Championships in Eugene, setting a former Oceania Junior Record of 8094 points.[4] In 2012, aged 17, Dubler placed 4th at the same competition in Barcelona.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Cedric gained much admiration for sacrificing his own final 1500m leg of the decathlon to act as a ‘pacer’ for Ashley Moloney and motivate him to achieve the performance he needed to secure the bronze medal above several close competitors. Cedric’s selflessness was acknowledged by many commentators as being instrumental in Moloney’s bronze medal win,[5] and was lauded by the Australian media as one of the most memorable moments of the Tokyo Olympics.[6][7]
