How many throwing events in a decathlon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are three throwing events in a decathlon:

  • Shot Put
  • Discus Throw
  • Javelin Throw

**It's important to note that shot put isn't referred to as a throw it is instead called a 'Put'. As if you were 'putting' something up in front of you with a lot of force. So you never throw a shot put, you instead put a shot.

What are the ten events in a decathlon?

User Avatar

Asked by Darrin Kozey

The decathlon's ten events are spread out over two days.

First day events: 100-meter dash, running long jump, shot put, high jump, and 400-meter run.

Second day events: 110-meter hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1,500-meter run for the second day.

To determine an overall winner, the International Association of Athletics Federations sets a table to convert performance in each event to a score, and the athlete with the highest sum of all ten scores is the winner. The table is updated periodically to keep up with new world records in each event, which can have interesting effects on previous scores—a 1985 revision of the table bumped up British decathlete Daley Thompson's score from the previous year, causing him to break the world record retrospectively.

How many laps around a track would a runner run for 1.5 miles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Around a track that is 400m around to run 1.5 miles you would have to run 6 laps. 4 laps is one mile.
Since 400 meters is a little over 8 feet short of a quarter mile, you would actually have to go about 50 feet past the 6 lap mark for a more precise mile and a half.
