Up to four players compete in the ten different events of a real-life decathlon, either in sequence or individually. The game is featured on the Playstation 2 compilation Activision Anthology.

The game became somewhat notorious for the amount of wear or damage inflicted upon console controllers, namely the Atari 2600 version where rapid back-and-forth movement of the joystick propels the athlete down the track.

1.100-Meter Dash

3.Shot Put
4.High Jump
5.400-Meter Race
