Decathlon scoring (0)

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.
