He competed at the [[Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Men's Discus|2004 Olympics]], but didn't reach the final. 2005 was his breakthrough year as he won silver medals at the [[2005 World Championships in Athletics|World Championships]] and [[3rd IAAF World Athletics Final|World Athletics Final]], took home a victory in the European Cup and won the [[World University Games]]. He also threw more than 70 metres for the first time.

'''Erki Nool''' (born [[June 25]], [[1970]] in [[Võru]], Estonia) is an [[Estonia]]n decathlete and politician.

He is a winner of the gold medal for [[Decathlon]] in the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] in [[Sydney]]. Although Nool did not place first in any individual event, his total score was the highest. Nool won the title after the competition referee decided to over-rule a discus judge who had red-flagged his last and only valid attempt due to alleged step-out. The reinstatement of his 43.66-[[metre]] third throw sparked unsuccessful counter-protests from other teams. Nool took gold ahead of the Czech [[Roman Šebrle]] and [[United States of America|American]] [[Chris Huffins]].

He was elected to the Estonian Parliament, ''[[Riigikogu]]'', on [[4th March]] [[2007]], representing the [[Union of Pro Patria and Res Publica]] party<ref>[http://www.vvk.ee/r07/tulemus/liikmed.html Results from the 2007 parliament elections]</ref>.
