Decathlon scoring (0)

July 28, 2024
The supreme athletics event tests the mind and body over ten events. Athletes will compete against one another and the scoring table.

Decathlon scoring works by turning performances into points using a decathlon scoring table. To score 1000 points in each event, a decathlete would have to produce the following results:

100m: 10.39 seconds
Long jump: 7.76m
Shot put: 18.40m
High jump: 2.21m
400m: 46.17 seconds
110m hurdles: 13.80 seconds
Discus: 56.17m
Pole vault: 5.29m
Javelin: 77.19m
1500m: 3:53.79

 

Women's decathlon 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 schedule of events differs from the men's decathlon, with the field events switched between day one and day two; this is to avoid scheduling conflicts when men's and women's decathlon competitions take place simultaneously.
