A decathlete is an athlete who competes in a decathlon, which is a combined event in track and field. The decathlon consists of ten different events, including sprints, distance running, jumping, and throwing. These events test a wide range of athletic skills, such as speed, strength, and endurance. The decathlon is typically held over two days, with athletes accumulating points based on their performance in each event. The events include the 100 meters, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400 meters, 110 meters hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1500 meters. The athlete with the highest total points at the end wins the competition.
