Women’s combined events consist of multi-discipline track and field competitions that combine speed, strength, technique, and endurance across several events.
Women’s combined events are most commonly contested as the heptathlon outdoors and the pentathlon indoors, while the women’s decathlon is also contested in selected competitions.
Athletes score points in each discipline across sprints, jumps, throws, and middle-distance running, with the combined total determining the final ranking.
Combined events performance is measured through a standardized scoring system designed to compare results across different disciplines and competition formats.
