World Athletics Scoring Tables 2025

Why Use the WA Points Calculator?

Comparing a 10.50-second 100m sprint to a 7.80m long jump is impossible without a standardized system. The World Athletics scoring tables solve this by assigning point values based on performance difficulty. A 1000-point throw in javelin requires the same athletic level as a 1000-point sprint in the 400m.

About the 2025 Edition

This edition includes a total of 162 events (80 men's, 80 women's, and 2 mixed 4x400m relays) and incorporates performance data from competitions between 2022 and 2024. This update specifically recalibrates marathon and road race events to reflect recent improvements in times and adds new disciplines such as the 300m hurdles, the road mile, and new race walking events, including the marathon and the mixed 4x400m relay.

How the System Works

Each event uses a mathematical formula with three constants (A, B, C) calibrated using statistical analysis of world-class performances. The system ensures progressive scoring: improving at elite levels earns more points than the same absolute improvement at lower levels, because high-level gains are exponentially harder to achieve.
