Q: I have to jump, run, and throw?!

Km: Yes, if your an "athlonete". Ok, I just made that term up, but the the decathlon and heptathlon are real track and field events. The decathlon is a two-day competition and consists of the following events: 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m, 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, and 1500m. The heptathlon is the women's version, and consists of 7 events: 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m, long jump, javelin, and 800m. The heptathlon replaced the pentathlon (shot put, high jump, long jump, 60m hurdles, and 800m) in the 1984 Olympics. So, which type of athletes make the best athlonetes? Football players...
