Indoor Pentathlon Record Tables

Indoor Pentathlon Records

The indoor pentathlon consists of five separate events with grading tables used to convert individual event performances to points. The athlete that accumulates the most points wins.

For some reason, the men and women contest different events in their indoor pentathlons. The men compete in the 60m hurdles, long jump, shot put, high jump and 1000m. The women have the 60m hurdles. high jump, shot put, long jump and 800m.

The women compete in the indoor pentathlon in the IAAF World Indoor Championships since its introduction as a championship event in 1995. The nearest event for the men at this level is an indoor heptathlon.

The indoor pentathlon has been a part of the World Masters Indoor Championships since the first champs in 2004.

Where Centre records are better performances than National or World records, this likely indicates that the athlete either failed to apply for the record within the application window or was unable to meet the stricter paperwork requirements. More recent records could still be in the processing stage at World or National level.

Note: Athletes move. Wellington records applicable to athletes registered to Wellington at time of performance. Island championship records applicable to athletes registered to that island at time of performance. NZ records applicable to athletes registered appropriately to NZMA at time of performance. Oceania championship records applicable to athletes registered to OMA at time of performance. World records quote national affiliation of athlete at time of performance.

Prior to the September 2016 agreement on shared membership between Athletics New Zealand and New Zealand Masters Athletics, only those masters athletes who had joined NZMA were eligible to claim records. Now domestic Masters Records can be claimed by both ANZ and NZMA members.

Note 1: Age factor points tables were updated by World Masters in 2010, revised again in 2015 and 2023.

Note 2: Records marked + require recalculation to 2015 factors. Records marked * require the individual event performances to be located to allow the recalculation to 2015 factors.

Note: World Masters Athletics have recalculated the points totals to reflect the latest combined event scoring tables. Wellington Masters, New Zealand Masters and Oceania Masters have not yet undertaken this task.
