A '''heptathlon''' is a [[track and field]] combined events contest made up of seven events.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web|url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heptathlon |title=Heptathlon – Definition|publisher=Merriam-webster.com |date=2012-08-31 |access-date=2013-08-18}}</ref> The name derives from the Greek ἑπτά (hepta, meaning "seven") and ἄθλος (áthlos, or ἄθλον, áthlon, meaning "competition"). A competitor in a heptathlon is referred to as a heptathlete.

There are two heptathlons – the men's and the women's heptathlon – composed of different events. The men's heptathlon is older and is currently held indoors, contested at the [[IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics]]. The women's heptathlon is held outdoors and was introduced in the 1980s, first appearing in the [[Olympics]] in [[Athletics at the 1984 Summer Olympics – Women's heptathlon|1984]]. It is currently contested in the [[Athletics at the Summer Olympics|athletics programme]] of the Olympics and at the [[World Athletics Championships]].

==Women's heptathlon==
Women's heptathlon is the combined event for women contested in the [[Athletics at the Summer Olympics|athletics programme]] of the Olympics and at the [[World Athletics Championships]]. The [[World Athletics Combined Events Tour]] determines a yearly women's heptathlon champion. The women's outdoor heptathlon consists of the following events, with the first four contested on the first day, and the remaining three on day two:

* [[100 metres hurdles]]
* [[High jump]]
* [[Shot put]]
* [[200 metres]]
* [[Long jump]]
* [[Javelin throw]] 
* [[800 metres]]

The heptathlon has been contested by female athletes since the early 1980s, when it replaced the [[Women's pentathlon|pentathlon]] as the primary women's combined event contest (the javelin throw and 800 m were added).<ref>{{Cite web |last=D'Andrea |first=Christian |date=2016-08-12 |title=Here's how the heptathlon works |url=https://www.sbnation.com/2016/8/12/12451406/2016-summer-olympics-rio-heptathlon-rules-scoring-explained-preview |access-date=2023-12-18 |website=SBNation.com |language=en}}</ref> It was first contested at the Olympic level in the [[1984 Summer Olympics]]. In recent years some women's [[decathlon]] competitions have been conducted, consisting of the same events as the men's competition in a slightly different order, and [[World Athletics]] has begun keeping records for it, but the heptathlon remains the championship-level combined event for women. [[Nafissatou Thiam]], representing Belgium, is the [[Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics|2024 Olympic Gold Medallist]], after successfully defending her previous [[Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's heptathlon|2016]] and [[Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's heptathlon|2020]] titles. She is also the reigning [[2018 European Athletics Championships|European Champion]]. [[Katarina Johnson-Thompson]], representing Great Britain, is the current [[2023 World Championships in Athletics|World Champion]] and  [[2018 Commonwealth Games|Commonwealth Champion]]. [[Odile Ahouanwanou]]. [[Yekaterina Voronina]], [[Kiara Reddingius]], [[Luisarys Toledo]] and [[Ariana Ince]] hold the African, Asian, Oceanian, South American and NACAC (North American, Central American and Caribbean) titles respectively. [[Adriana Rodríguez]], [[Marthe Koala]], [[Swapna Barman]] and [[Elenani Tinai]] hold the Panamerican Games, African Games, Asian Games and Pacific Games titles respectively.<ref>Holders correct as of 2020. The European Games does not feature a heptathlon event.</ref>

There is also a [[Tetradecathlon]], which is a double heptathlon, consisting of 14 events, seven events per day.

===Points system===
The heptathlon scoring system was devised by Dr Karl Ulbrich, a Viennese mathematician. The formulae are constructed so that, for each event, a designated benchmark performance (for example, approximately 1.82&nbsp;m for the high jump) scores 1000 points.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/aug/03/london-2012-jessica-ennis-heptathlon "London 2012: Jessica Ennis leads heptathlon after first day"], ''The Guardian'', 3 August 2012</ref> Each event also has a minimum recordable performance level (e.g. 0.75&nbsp;m for the high jump), corresponding to zero points. The formulae are devised so that successive constant increments in performance correspond to gradually increasing increments in points awarded.

The events are split into three groups, and the scores are calculated according to the three formulae:<ref>{{cite web

:Running events (200 m, 800 m and 100 m hurdles):
::<math>P =  INT  (a \cdot (b - T)^c</math>)
:Jumping events (high jump and long jump):
::<math>P =  INT  (a \cdot (M - b)^c</math>)
:Throwing events (shot put and javelin):
::<math>P =  INT  (a \cdot (D - b)^c</math>)

''P'' is for points, ''T'' is for time in seconds, ''M'' is for height or distance in centimeters and ''D'' is distance in meters. ''a'', ''b'' and ''c'' have different values for each of the events, as follows:

== Men's heptathlon ==
{{anchor|Men's}} <!--[[Men's heptathlon]] redirects here -->
The other version is an indoor competition, normally contested by men only. It is the men's combined event in the [[IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics]]. The men's indoor heptathlon consists of the following events, with the first four contested on the first day, and remaining three on day two:

* [[60 metres]]
* [[long jump]]
* [[shot put]]
* [[high jump]]
* [[60 metres hurdles]]
* [[pole vault]]
* [[1000 metres]]

The scoring is similar for both versions. In each event, the athlete scores points for his performance in each event according to scoring tables issued by the [[International Association of Athletics Federations]] (IAAF).<ref>[http://www.iaaf.org/mm/Document/Competitions/TechnicalArea/ScoringTables_CE_744.pdf] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080910115455/http://www.iaaf.org/mm/Document/Competitions/TechnicalArea/ScoringTables_CE_744.pdf|date=September 10, 2008}}</ref> The athlete accumulating the highest number of points wins the competition.
