What is the final event in a standard men's decathlon?
The vast majority of international and top level men's decathlons are divided into a two-day competition, with the track and field events held in the order below. Traditionally, all decathletes who finish the event, rather than just the winner or medal winning athletes, do a round of honour together after the competition. The current world record holder is Kevin Mayer from France with 9126 points which he set on September 16, 2018, in Talence, France.
Day 1: 100 metres, long jump, shot put, high jump and 400 metres.
Day 2: 110 metres hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw and 1,500 metres
The last event of the men's decathlon is the 1,500 metres.
