Decathlon

The Decathlon is a sports game or Decathlon, in which athletes in two days time have to travel ten track events . In the men's all-aroundis the Decathlon normal, in the women's IAAFofficially it is called a component, but not yet in vogue (see below).

This discipline is since the 1912 Summer Olympics (Stockholm) an Olympic discipline.

The lines of the individual numbers are applicable. At the object numbers and the long jump, however, allowed only three attempts (instead of six) be undertaken. At the running events may cause any athlete one false start instead of the line at the individual running events, which leads directly to a false start exclusion.

The athletes can earn points in each discipline, according to a system that is established by the IAAF. The better the performance, the more points delivers this on. a person who has collected the most points after ten parts, wins the Decathlon. In theory, the number of points that can be obtained for this thereby infinity. So has the AmericanAshton Eaton with the most points ever amassed 9039 points, giving it world record in hands. Ten k approaching the records of the specialists on the loose parts ever closer.The gap between the all-round Decathlon champion and a specialist in part amounts to an average of 15%; at the object numbers, the gap with the largest 30% relatively.

The order of the women's Decathlon is different than for men: the four running events are the same, but when the two cubes of three technical components are swapped, so the days discus, wrist and spear on the first day and far, this high on the second ball and at the same time, organizing a men's and a women's Decathlon easier. Moreover, a few years after the introduction of the Decathlon for women the part not to catch on.
