In a multi-event competition, the winner is determined based on the total accumulation of points earned across all events. Each event may hold different weightings or scores, with athletes showcasing their abilities in diverse disciplines. Typically seen in competitions like the decathlon or heptathlon, performances in each event contribute to an overall score. The athlete with the highest score at the conclusion of all events is declared the winner. This structure tests versatility, endurance, and skill, distinguishing multi-event athletes from specialists in single-sport competitions.
