🏆 World Records
Men's Decathlon: Kevin Mayer (France) - 9,126 points
Record set on September 16, 2018 in Talence during the Décastar. Kevin Mayer, nicknamed "Super Kev", dominated the discipline for several years. His exceptional performances: 10.55 in 100m, 7.80m long jump, 2.05m high jump, 5.45m pole vault and 71.90m javelin. This record illustrates the extraordinary versatility required to excel in combined events.
Women's Heptathlon: Jackie Joyner-Kersee (United States) - 7,291 points
Record set on September 24, 1988 during the Seoul Olympics. This athletics legend still holds this record after more than 35 years, with remarkable performances: 12.69 in 100m hurdles, 1.86m high jump, 15.80m shot put, 22.56 in 200m, 7.27m long jump, 45.66m javelin and 2'08"51 in 800m. A historic record that remains unmatched.
Calculation Formulas
Points are calculated according to official IAAF/World Athletics tables:
💡 Did you know?
The scoring table for combined events (decathlon/heptathlon) is not linear: gaining 1 second in the 100 m doesn't earn the same number of points for every athlete. The higher the performance already is, the more each improvement is worth.
Concrete example:
- Going from 13″ to 12″ in the 100 m is worth ~70 points
- Going from 11″ to 10″ is worth over 90 points
The table therefore rewards excellence more than beginner-level progress.
Another little-known fact: the current formulas date back to 1985 and are based on mathematical models designed to balance the disciplines, so that no single event dominates the overall total. Without these coefficients, a decathlon would be largely dominated by running events rather than by all-round versatility.
