IAAF World Combined Events Challenge

The IAAF World Combined Events Challenge is an athletics contest organized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (since 1998) for combined events, the heptathlon for women, and the decathlon for men. The medalists are decided by totaling the number of points that the athletes have scored in each of three combined events competitions during the season. Points scored are determined by the IAAF combined events scoring tables.

The total prize money available is US$202,000, split evenly between male and female athletes. The male and female winners each receive $30,000, while second and third placed athletes are entitled to $20,000 and $15,000 respectively. Smaller prizes are given to the rest of the top eight finishers.[1]
