My father claims he competed against Jim Brown in the high jump when he was in college circa 1958-59.

The heptathlon and the decathlon are variations of the same event, combined-events. In outdoor track and field, women do the heptathlon, consisting of seven events, and men do the decathlon, consisting of ten events. Both of the events have events in them that are power and speed related with one that is more endurance related.

Three. The triathlon contains segments of swimming, cycling, and running. A 'full' triathlon consists of a 2.4 mile (3.8 km) swim, 112 mile (180 km) cycle, followed by a marathon run (26.2 miles, 42.195 km). The triathlon in the Olympics consists of a .93 mile (1.5 km) swim, 24.8 mile (40 km) cycle, and a 6.2 mile (10 km) run.

There is no subjective judging, so there is no such thing as "perfect." It would be impossible, even at the speed of light, to run a race in 0 time. The athlete tries to achieve their best result, and the results are compared on a point scale across multiple events.

The last event in a track and field decathlon is the 1500 meter run.

In the modern Olympics, 1904.

Daley Thompson was 34 years old when he retired from athletics. He retired in 1992.

well it all depends on what time of legue it is high school best times are atleast a 21.5 and college and up is 20.5

I usually see a lot of high school boys on a track team get under 30 seconds. Over 30 seconds is still fine.

Also, many girls on a high school track team usually get under 35 seconds. Over 35 seconds isn't bad either.

A decathlon consists of ten track and field events, but it does not have a specific distance like a marathon. However, if we consider the running events within a decathlon, which include the 100 meters, 400 meters, 1500 meters, and the hurdles, the total running distance amounts to approximately 3.4 miles. This figure can vary slightly depending on individual performances, but the combined distance of these events gives a rough estimate.

Bruce Jenner revolutionized the sport before the 1976 Olympics by training 8 hours a day, essentially a full time job to practice the variety of disciplines. During this period, athletes were not allowed to make money from their athletic accomplishments. His (then) wife Chrystie Crownover supported him with her job as an airline stewardess. After he won the Olympic Gold medal (in world record form) he quit the sport to make money from his celebrity. He even left his vaulting poles in the Olympic stadium. Now that athletes are professional, his successors have followed the same training model.

There are some events whose attributes fight one another, so athletes focus on what will get the most points. For example, bulking up to throw well, works against the 1500 and really sprinting and jumping.
