Dear Athletics Fans,
The World Athletics Combined Events Tour in Tallinn takes place on January 31- February 1, 2026.
This will mark the 17th edition of the Indoor Combined Events in Tallinn, hosted at the newly renovated Tallinn Athletics Hall.
Over the years, the event has earned a reputation for world-class performances and memorable moments. One of the most iconic highlights came in 2011, when Ashton Eaton set a new world record in the heptathlon with a score of 6568 points. More recently, in 2025, Sander Skotheim broke the European record with 6484 points—a mark he surpassed just a month later at the European Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, scoring 6558 points. That same year, Saga Vanninen of Finland set a new U23 European record in the women’s pentathlon with 4843 points, which she also improved in Apeldoorn with 4922 points.
Throughout the years, Tallinn has welcomed many of the biggest names in combined events, including Trey Hardee, Roman Šebrle, Thomas Van der Plaetsen, Oleksiy Kasyanov, Kai Kazmirek, Adrianna Sułek, Laura Ikauniece, and of course, the previously mentioned Ashton Eaton, Sander Skotheim and Saga Vanninen.
The competition also serves as the Estonian Indoor Championships, showcasing the nation’s top multi-eventers. Estonia has a proud and successful history in the combined events, consistently producing world-class athletes who have made their mark on the international stage. From Olympians and World Championship medalists to rising stars, Estonian multi-eventers have built a reputation for excellence and resilience. Notable names who have competed in Tallinn include Maicel Uibo, Janek Õiglane, Mikk Pahapill, and Risto Lillemets, all of whom have carried forward the country’s strong legacy in the decathlon and heptathlon.
We look forward to another thrilling edition of world-class athletics in Tallinn—see you there!
