How it worksLoading...
The decathlon consists of ten track and field events spread over two days. It is one of the most physically demanding events for athletes. On day one, the 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump and 400m are contested.On day two, the competitors face the 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and, finally, the 1500m.
In order to combine the results of these very different events - some give times and some give distances - a points system has been developed. Each performance is awarded a predetermined number of points according to a set of performance tables.
These are added, event by event, and the winner is the athlete with the highest points total after ten events. The women's heptathlon works in exactly the same way but with three fewer events (100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m, long jump, javelin and 800m).
