Athletic track and field competition consisting of ten events
Thedecathlon is acombined event inathletics consisting of 10track and field events. The word was formed in analogy to the word "pentathlon ", fromGreek δέκα (déka ' ten ' ) andἆθλον (áthlon ' contest, prize ' ). Events are held over two consecutive days and the winners are determined by the combined performance in all. Performance is judged not by the position achieved but rather on apoints system in each event, .[ 1] The decathlon is contested mainly by male athletes, while female athletes typically compete in theheptathlon .
Traditionally, the title of "World's Greatest Athlete " has been given to the person who wins the decathlon. This began whenGustav V of Sweden toldJim Thorpe , "Sir, you are the world's greatest athlete" after Thorpe won the decathlon at theStockholm Olympics in 1912.[ 2]
The event is similar to thepentathlon held at theancient Greek Olympics ,[ 3] and also similar to a competition called an "all-around", which was contested at theUnited States amateur championships in 1884.[ 4] [ 5] Another all-around was held at the1904 Summer Olympics .[ 6] The modern decathlon first appeared at the1912 Games .[ 7]
In modern athletics, the 10 events are:100 metres ,400 metres ,1500 metres ,110 metre hurdles ,long jump ,high jump ,pole vault ,discus throw ,javelin throw , andshotput . The current officialdecathlon world record holder is French athleteKevin Mayer , who scored a total of 9126 points at the 2018Décastar in France.
Historical background [ edit ] The decathlon developed from the ancientpentathlon competitions held at theancient Greek Olympics . Pentathlons involved five disciplines –long jump ,discus throw ,javelin throw ,sprint and awrestling match.[ 3] Introduced in Olympia during 708 BC, this competition was extremely popular for many centuries.
A ten-event competition known as the "all-around" or "all-round" championship, similar to the modern decathlon, was first contested at theUnited States amateur championships in 1884 and reached a consistent form by 1890.[ 4] [ 5] While an all-around event was held at the1904 Summer Olympics , whether it was an official Olympic event has been disputed.[ 6]
The modern decathlon first appeared in theOlympic athletics program at the1912 Games in Stockholm.[ 7]
The vast majority of international and top-level men's decathlons are divided into a two-day competition, with thetrack and field events held in the order below. Traditionally, all decathletes who finish the event, rather than just the winner or medal-winning athletes, do a round of honour together after the competition.[citation needed ] The current world record holder isKevin Mayer from France with 9126 points which he set on 16 September 2018, inTalence , France.
At major championships, the women's equivalent of the decathlon is the seven-eventheptathlon ; before 1981 it was the five-eventpentathlon .[ 8] However, in 2001, the IAAF (nowWorld Athletics ) approved scoring tables for a women's decathlon; the current world record holder isAustra Skujytė ofLithuania , with 8358 points.[ 9] Women's disciplines differ from men's in the same way as for standalone events: the shot, discus, and javelin weigh less, and the sprint hurdles use lower hurdles over 100 m rather than 110 m. The points tables used are the same as for the heptathlon in the shared events. In some women's decathlon competitions, the schedule differs from the men's decathlon, with the field events switched between day one and day two. This rule was initially instituted to avoid scheduling conflicts when men's and women's decathlon competitions take place simultaneously, however by 2024 the rule was revised to allow conducting the women's decathlon using the men's event order.[ 10] [ 11] The inauguralWomen's Decathlon World Championships used the men's ordering of events.[ 12]
Women's decathlon reversed field event order (optional) The one-hour decathlon is a special type of decathlon in which the athletes have to start the last of ten events (1500 m) within sixty minutes of the start of the first event. The world record holder isCzech decathleteRobert Změlík , who achieved 7897 points at a meeting inOstrava ,Czechoslovakia , in 1992.[ 13]
InMasters athletics , performance scores areage graded before being applied to the standard scoring table. This way, marks that would be competitive within an age division can get rated, even if those marks would not appear on the scale designed for younger age groups. Additionally, like women, the age divisions use different implement weights and lower hurdles. Based on this system, German Rolf Geese in the M60 division and American Robert Hewitt in the M80 divisions have set their respectiveworld records over 8000 points. Using the same scale,Nadine O'Connor scored 10,234 points in the W65 division, the highest decathlon score ever recorded.[ 14] [ 15]

The 2001 IAAF points tables use the following formulae:[ 16]
Points =INT (A (B −P )C ) for track events (faster time produces a higher score) Points =INT (A (P −B )C ) for field events (greater distance or height produces a higher score) A ,B , andC are parameters that vary by discipline, as shown in the adjacent table, whileP is the performance by the athlete, measured in seconds (running), metres (throwing), or centimetres (jumping).[ 16]
The decathlon tables should not be confused with the scoring tables compiled byBojidar Spiriev , to allow comparison of the relative quality of performances by athletes in different events. On those tables, for example, a decathlon score of 9006 points equates to 1265 "comparison points", the same number as a triple jump of 18 m.[ 17]
Split evenly between the events, the following table shows the benchmark levels needed to earn 1000, 900, 800, and 700 points in each sport.

The total decathlon score for allworld records in the respective events would be 12,676. The total decathlon score for all the best performances achieved during decathlons is 10,669. TheDifference column shows the difference in points between the decathlon points that the individual current world record would be awarded and the points awarded to the current decathlon record for that event. The relative differences in points are much higher in throwing events than in running and jumping events.
Decathlon bests are only recognized when an athlete completes the ten-event competition with a score of over 7000 points.[ 19]
