How many times track events are there in a decathlon?
Asked by Wiki User
It takes several hours on two days. Each event must be separated by a half hour of rest. While a 100m race might take only a few seconds, it takes several heats to let all the athletes in a large competition run their race. Half an hour then start doing long jump attempts for the entire field and so on. The longest time event is the pole vault because it takes so much time to give each athlete all of the necessary attempts, but each athlete is only on the runway (or in the ring) for a short period of time during these events. The longest continuous event is the 1500m which could take as little as 4 minutes, but for some decathletes (a good thrower, for example, might not be built for an endurance race) it is a much longer ordeal.

In the Olympics, there are 17 track and field events, plus two relays, two walks for men and the Marathon. There are many other non-Olympic level track and field events, the entire list of imperial distance (yards) events (aside from the mile) was removed from official status where the IAAF (the world wide governing body) decided to no longer keep records. That doesn't mean those are no longer events. So you have to define the list of events you are questioning first.

What are the four jumping events in track and field?
Asked by Wiki User
Long Jump, High Jump, and Triple Jump are three 'true' jumping events- meaning they are entirely based on an athlete's unaided ability to gather forward momentum and launch themself, completely airborne, for a given distance or height.
The fourth that may be considered a 'jumping event' is the Polevault. What destinguishes this event from the others is implentation of the pole (or 'implement') that the athlete must use to negotiate the height. The rational that it is not a jumping event is in the details of the technique required to accomplish this. The correct technique is primarily dependant on gathering enough momentum down the runway where as in combined with the thrust of the pole into the box, or 'the stick', will enable the pole to significantly flex upward. The pole under tension will launch, or 'vault', the athlete off the ground into the air. the ahtlete is also never completely airborne as they are holding the pole which is always in contact with the ground and is being aided by the force generated in the pole to accelerate the athlete upward (hopefully).
