Women’s multis are combined track & field competitions - most often the heptathlon (7 events) outdoors, and less commonly the decathlon (10 events) or pentathlon (5 events, typically indoors) - where athletes earn points in each discipline across sprints, jumps, throws, and middle-distance runs, with the highest total score determining the winner.
The Decathlon's nice in that you get to know the other athletes. It's almost like everyone helps each other out. We're all out there trying to win, but at the same time there's a friendship there too. It's always fun going to meets and catching up with the other guys - Tom Pappas
