World men’s heptathlon all-time list. This all-time list highlights the top performances in the event’s history, featuring athletes who have surpassed the impressive 6050-point mark.
The total points from an athlete’s 10 best decathlons is an interesting statistic, as it highlights athletes who have accumulated 82000 points or more across their top 10 performances.
Total points based on personal bests: calculated by adding the points from an decathlete’s personal records in each event. This section lists all totals exceeding 8900 points. It is worth checking because it contains very interesting data.
