The decathlon is a combined event in athletics consisting of ten track and field events. The word "decathlon" was formed, in analogy to the word "pentathlon", from Greek δέκα and ἄθλος. Events are held over two consecutive days and the winners are determined by the combined performance in all. Performance is judged on a points system in each event, not by the position achieved. The decathlon is contested mainly by male athletes, while female athletes typically compete in the heptathlon.
Daley Thompson's Decathlon is an Olympic-themed sports video game developed and released by Ocean Software in 1984.

The game is based on the gameplay format established by 1983 arcade game Track & Field.
