Combined events at the Summer Olympics have been contested in several formats at the multi-sport event. There are two combined track and field events in the current Olympic athletics programme: a men's decathlon (100 metres, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400 metres, 110 metres hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1500 metres) and a women's heptathlon (100 metres hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 metres, long jump, javelin throw, and 800 metres).

  • Combined events at the Summer Olympics have been contested in several formats at the multi-sport event. There are two combined track and field events in the current Olympic athletics programme: a men's decathlon (100 metres, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400 metres, 110 metres hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1500 metres) and a women's heptathlon (100 metres hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 metres, long jump, javelin throw, and 800 metres). The first men's events came at the 1904 Summer Olympics: a triathlon had long jump, shot put, and 100-yard dash events, while an all-around championship saw athletes compete over ten events, forming the basis for the decathlon. No combined events were held at the subsequent games, but the 1912 Summer Olympics saw the introduction of the modern decathlon event and also a men's pentathlon (which lasted for three games). The first women's event came in 1964 in the form of the women's pentathlon. This was amended to include two more events, becoming the heptathlon at the 1984 Summer Olympics, reflecting the development of women's sport. The Olympic record in the decathlon is 9018 points, set by Canadian athlete Damian Warner in 2021. Jackie Joyner-Kersee's score of 7291 points to win in 1988 is both the current Olympic and world record for the heptathlon – this remains the only occasion that record has been broken at the Olympics. The men's decathlon world record has had a strong link with the competition, with the Olympic gold medalist breaking the world record in 1928, 1932, 1936, 1952, 1972, 1976, and 1984. Five men have won two Olympic combined event titles. Bob Mathias, Daley Thompson and Ashton Eaton have all won back-to-back decathlon titles, Jim Thorpe won both the decathlon and pentathlon titles in 1912, and Eero Lehtonen won two Olympic pentathlon titles. Jackie Joyner-Kersee is the most successful athlete, having won two Olympic heptathlon titles and, with her further silver medal, is the only combined events competitor to have won three Olympic medals. In 1912, Thorpe was designated the "World's Greatest Athlete" by Gustav V of Sweden and this title is traditionally given to the reigning Olympic decathlon champion in the media. Thorpe's two gold medals were stripped in 1913 on the grounds that he had broken amateurism rules (having taken expense money for playing baseball), but the International Olympic Committee restored him as the champion in 1982, 30 years after his death, admitting that the protest against Thorpe’s eligibility was not brought within required 30 days (other medalists were not demoted). The 1906 Intercalated Games, now not considered an official Olympic event, featured an event based on the Ancient Olympic pentathlon, combining four track and field events with a wrestling match.

  • Les épreuves combinées en athlétisme figurent au programme des Jeux olympiques depuis 1904 et sont constituées aujourd'hui du décathlon chez les hommes, et de l'heptathlon chez les femmes. Le décathlon fait son apparition au programme olympique lors des Jeux de 1904 à Saint-Louis, où se disputent dix épreuves qui ne composent habituellement pas la discipline. Absent lors de l'édition suivante, en 1908, il refait son apparition en 1912 et inclus les dix épreuves traditionnelles composant le décathlon. D'autres épreuves combinées masculines ont également fait partie du programme olympique : le triathlon en 1904 et le pentathlon de 1912 à 1924. L'heptathlon féminin se déroule pour la première fois au cours des Jeux olympiques de 1984 à Los Angeles, prenant la suite du pentathlon, disputé de 1964 à 1980. Avec deux médailles d'or remportées, les Américains Bob Mathias et Ashton Eaton ainsi que le Britannique Daley Thompson sont les athlètes les plus titrés au décathlon. L'Américaine Jackie Joyner-Kersee et la Belge Nafissatou Thiam possèdent également deux titres olympiques dans l'épreuve de l'heptathlon. Le record olympique du décathlon est actuellement détenu par le Canadien Damian Warner, qui réalise un total de 9 018 points lors des Jeux olympiques de 2020, à Tokyo. Le record olympique de l'heptathlon est détenu par Jackie Joyner-Kersee avec 7 291 points, établis lors des Jeux olympiques de 1988, à Séoul. (fr)
