    Which events are in the heptathlon at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and how do athletes earn points?

    IF doing one track and field event was not enough – a number of athletes decide to do SEVEN.The heptathlon is a women-only event and competitors earn points for their performance in each discipline.
    Katarina Johnson-Thompson will be going for gold at Tokyo 2020Credit: PA

    World champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson will be targeting more success as he will bid for gold at Tokyo 2020 against 2016 champ Naffi Thiam of Belgium.
    And what British athletics fan could forget Super Saturday in 2012 when Jessica Ennis-Hill won a magnificent gold medal?
    What does the heptathlon consist of?
    All heptathletes are scheduled to take part in seven different events with the first four completed on day one and the remaining three on day two.
    The woman’s heptathlon consists of:

    Day one: 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m sprint
    Day two: Long jump, javelin, 800m run

    The long jump combines speed, strength and agility in an attempt to leap as far as possible from a take off point.Credit: Sportsfile
    For the high jump, competitors must jump unaided over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without dislodging it.Credit: Sportsfile
    The heptathlon is a set of events that take course over two days measuring the key components of strength and versatility of these mega-athletes competing at the Olympics.
    The event’s unrivalled empress is American athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who set the world and Olympic record in 1988 with a score of 7,291 points.
    The 7,000-point barrier has only been breeched on 10 occasions, six of those coming from Joyner-Kersee herself.
    Since then, no other competitor has come within 250 points of breaking her mark.

    How is it scored?
    This is where it gets a little bit complicated.
    The rule of thumb is that a high-level performance in each of the seven games should score a competitor approximately 1,000 points per event.
    There are three different equations to create the scores for each event in the heptathlon, those being:
    Running events (200 m, 800 m and 100 m hurdles)

    Jumping events (high jump and long jump)

    Throwing events (shot put and javelin)

    Yes, if it seems like you need an advanced degree to set this up, you’re right.
    The heptathlon’s scoring systemย was devised by Dr. Karl Ulbrich, an Austrian mathematician.
    P is the number of points scored, T is the competitor’s time, and a, b and c are Ulbrich’s specially derived coefficients. These coefficients can change for each event.
    Ulbrich’s formula is used to allow comparisons from past and future heptathlon’s, rather than just awarding points relative to placement.
    The scoring changes also make it more difficult for less-rounded athletes to win the event based on their dominance in one or two events.
    Losing by three-tenths of a second in the 200m run is the rough equivalent to losing by three feet in the javelin throw, and so on – so it is a competition of the best overall athlete over seven events.

    Who to watch out for
    Britain’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson – or KJT as she is nicknamed.
    Johnson-Thompson recorded her best ever finish at a World Championships in 2017 – finishing fifth in London.
    The Liverpool born athlete then followed up that success by winning heptathlon gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia to claim her first global senior outdoor title.
    And in that same year she also claimed a heptathlon silver medal at the European Championships in Berlin behind Belgium’s Nafi Thiam.
    The 28-year-old’s best score of 6981 points is a British record and the ninthย best heptathlon score in history. More

    F1 calendar 2021: Grand Prix times, schedule, tracks with Hungarian Grand Prix NEXT before Belgium

    FORMULA ONE race organisers are certainly earning their salaries this year, with more tweaks to the calendar than in living memory.The Australian Grand Prix is the latest race to get culled from the F1 calendar for this year after it was initially put back to later in the season.

    The Brit, 36, moved level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles last year and will become the outright top dog if he collects the most points across this season’s races.
    In a season that has already seen shifts and changes to the calendar, the Australian Grand Prix was due to take place on the weekend of March 21, but was put back to November 21.
    Then the Melbourne event was cancelled altogether due to rising Covid cases Down Under.
    And in April the world governing body approved sprint races in the British, Brazilian and Italian Grand Prix as a replacement for qualifying.
    Here is how the F1 calendar unfolds in 2021 with our race by race schedule.

    The Brit, 36, moved level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles last year and will become the outright top dog if he collects the most points across this season’s races.
    In a season that has already seen shifts and changes to the calendar, the Australian Grand Prix was due to take place on the weekend of March 21, but was put back to November 21.
    Then the Melbourne event was cancelled altogether due to rising Covid cases Down Under.
    And in April the world governing body approved sprint races in the British, Brazilian and Italian Grand Prix as a replacement for qualifying.

    Gareth Southgate has begged England fans not to boo the Italian national anthem ahead of the final and fire up the passionate Azzurri.
    What is Italy’s national anthem called?
    The Italian national anthem is officially called Il Canto degli Italiani (The Song of the Italians).
    However, to most Italians it is better known as Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy) after the first line of the song.
    What are the words to Italy’s national anthem?
    Fratelli d’Italia,l’Italia s’รจ desta,dell’elmo di Scipios’รจ cinta la testa.Dov’รจ la Vittoria?Le porga la chioma,chรฉ schiava di RomaIddio la creรฒ.
    Stringiamci a coorte,siam pronti alla morte.Siam pronti alla morte,l’Italia chiamรฒ.Stringiamci a coorte,siam pronti alla morte.Siam pronti alla morte,l’Italia chiamรฒ! Sรฌ!

    What are the English words to Italy’s national anthem?
    Brothers of Italy,Italy has woken,bound Scipio’s helmetUpon her head.Where is Victory?Let her bow down,Because [as a] slave of RomeGod created her.

    Which events are in the heptathlon?

    IF doing one track and field event was not enough – some athletes decide to do SEVEN.The heptathlon is a women’s only event and competitors earn points for their performance in each discipline.

    Belgium’s Naffi Thiam won gold last time out at Rio 2016Credit: EPA
    World champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson will be targeting more success as he will bid for gold at Tokyo 2020.
    And what British athletics fan could forget Super Saturday in 2012 when Jessica Ennis-Hill won a magnificent gold medal?
    What does the heptathlon consist of?
    All heptathletes are scheduled to take part in seven different events with the first four completed on day one and the remaining three on day two.
    The woman’s heptathlon consists of:

    Day one: 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 metres
    Day two: Long jump, javelin, 800m run

    The long jump combines speed, strength and agility in an attempt to leap as far as possible from a take off point.Credit: Sportsfile
    For the high jump, competitors must jump unaided over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without dislodging it.Credit: Sportsfile
    The heptathlon is a set of events that take course over two days measuring the key components of strength and versatility of these mega-athletes competing at the Olympics.
    The event’s unrivalled empress is American athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who set the world and Olympic record in 1988 with a score of 7,291 points.
    The 7,000-point barrier has only been breeched on 10 occasions, six of those coming from Joyner-Kersee herself.
    Since then, no other competitor has come within 250 points of breaking her mark.
    London 2012 – Jessica Ennis wins heptathlon goldCredit: The Sun
    How is it scored?
    This is where it gets a little bit complicated.
    The rule of thumb is that a high-level performance in each of the seven games should score a competitor approximately 1,000 points per event.
    There are three different equations to create the scores for each event in the heptathlon, those being:
    Running events (200 m, 800 m and 100 m hurdles)

    Jumping events (high jump and long jump)

    Throwing events (shot put and javelin)

    Yes, if it seems like you need an advanced degree to set this up, you’re right.
    The heptathlon’s scoring systemย was devised by Dr. Karl Ulbrich, an Austrian mathematician.
    P is the number of points scored, T is the competitor’s time, and a, b and c are Ulbrich’s specially derived coefficients. These coefficients can change for each event.
    Ulbrich’s formula is used to allow comparisons from past and future heptathlon’s, rather than just awarding points relative to placement.
    The scoring changes also make it more difficult for less-rounded athletes to win the event based on their dominance in one or two events.
    Losing by three-tenths of a second in the 200m run is the rough equivalent to losing by three feet in the javelin throw, and so on – so it is a competition of the best overall athlete over seven events.

    Who to watch out for
    Britain’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson – or KJT as she is nicknamed.
    Johnson-Thompson recorded her best ever finish at a World Championships in 2017 – finishing fifth in London.
    The Liverpool born athlete then followed up that success by winning heptathlon gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia to claim her first global senior outdoor title.
    And in that same year she also claimed a heptathlon silver medal at the European Championships in Berlin behind Belgium’s Nafi Thiam.
    The 28-year-old’s best score of 6981 points is a British record and the ninthย best heptathlon score in history. More
