The term Decathlon and Heptathlon are related to which of the following?
Athletics events
Decathlon and Heptathlon are combined events in the sport of athletics (track and field), in which one athlete competes across a fixed series of different disciplines and is scored on overall all-round ability rather than a single specialism.
The decathlon consists of ten events, contested mainly by men over two days, and includes the 100 m, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400 m, 110 m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and the 1500 m.
The heptathlon consists of seven events, most commonly contested by women, and similarly blends running, jumping and throwing disciplines such as hurdles, high jump, shot put, sprints, long jump, javelin and an 800 m run.
In both, points are awarded for the performance in each individual event using standard scoring tables, and the competitor with the highest cumulative total is declared the winner.
These are not match formats in badminton, stroke styles in swimming or area classifications in golf, so those options do not fit the meaning of the terms.
Therefore, Decathlon and Heptathlon are related to Athletics events.
