message: Could someone who knows explain the scoring system? It currently says "In each event, the athlete scores points according to the marks achieved" which seems to say they score points by scoring points. What are these marks and how are they achieved? 81.220.8.21 16:39, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This is a prescribed event following international rules for track and field events as administrated by the IAAF.  One person performs all of these events, in order.  There is a half an hour break between each event, four events on the first day (100H, HJ, SP, 200) and three on the second (LJ, JT and 800).  The men also do their heptathlon indoors in a similar fashion, as they do the outdoor Decathlon.  And for the novice, yes, beyond the exertion factor, is the combination of skills.  The mere adaptation of the body, to be able to, for example, be in the best shape to throw, works against the ability to say, sprint or run the 800.  That is why these are special athletes.

message: The equivalent Points Calculations variables table of values (a, b, & c) is required for the men's events (similar to the women's above)
The Benchmark table of values could be revised to address:
:a.  table listed in the same order as the points calculation variables;
:b.  all table values in the same units as required for the points calculations (ie. T in seconds, M in cm, and D in m)

message: Maybe someone else can describe it better, or has more solid information. The heptathlon woman seem to conduct some traditional closing ritual at the end of each competition. After the 800 meters all of the heptathlon competitors stand together on the track, holding flags and bowing to the audience.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.201.160.2 (talk) 20:33, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  National Records 

message: Shouldn't the details of the women's heptathlon and all associated records etc come before the men's event? This page used to list the women's heptathlon first, which makes more sense given that the women's heptathlon is the major Olympic-level outdoor event and the men's heptathlon is a more minor indoor and non-Olympic event. Surely notability counts here, and most general readers who visit the page would be looking for details on the Olympic event? 80.2.173.21 (talk) 23:27, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
