A multi-event athletics discipline for women
that consists of seven events over two days:
100 metres hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200
metres (day one); long jump, javelin, 800
metres (day two). Points are awarded for
performances in each event in the same way as
the decathlon. It replaced the pentathlon in
international competition in 1981.
