Feb 25, 2020
The men’s indoor heptathlon is a combined track and field event consisting of seven disciplines contested over two days. It includes the 60 metres, long jump, shot put, high jump, 60 metres hurdles, pole vault, and 1000 metres, with performances converted into points to determine the overall winner.

During the winter season, the climate in most countries — at least in Europe — does not usually allow outdoor sports. This is when the indoor season also begins for combined-event athletes. Of course, not all disciplines can be held indoors; for example, discus and javelin throws would be impractical in such conditions. As a result, the number of events is reduced from ten to seven, as follows:

60 m - Long Jump - Shot Put - High Jump - 60 m hurdles - Pole Vault - 1000m

Every year there is either a World or a European Championships, mostly carried out in early March.
