A heptathlon is a track and field combined events contest made up of seven events. The name derives from the Greek hepta (seven) and athlon (contest). A competitor in a heptathlon is referred to as a heptathlete. There are two heptathlons â the women's heptathlon and the men's â composed of different events.The men's heptathlon is older and is held indoors, while the women's is held outdoors and was introduced in the 1980s, first appearing in the Olympics in 1984.he heptathlon has been contested by female athletes since the early 1980s, when it replaced the pentathlon as the primary women's combined event contest (the javelin throw and 800 m were added).
THE COMPETITION. The menâs decathlon consists of ten events that are held on two consecutive days. The first dayâs events include, in order, a 100-meter run, the long jump, shot put, high jump and a 400-meter run. The second dayâs events, in order, include the 110-meter hurdles followed by the discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw and a 1500-meter run. The rules for each event within the decathlon are generally the same as for the individual events themselves, with a few exceptions. Most notably, runners are allowed two false starts instead of one, while competitors receive only three attempts in throwing and jumping events.
