From the Organizer

Despite competing in all the individual events within a Decathlon, and inequality persists: women are still barred from competing in the Decathlon at the international level - the iconic event which crowns the world’s greatest athlete. We’re done waiting for permission to compete - we’re organizing our own competition. Join us for the second annual Women’s Decathlon World Championships.

This event is more than a competition: it's a call to action for the International Olympic Committee and World Athletics to embrace inclusivity. It is a statement of solidarity with every female athlete striving for recognition and the opportunity to compete on the world stage. Join us in making history.
