The competition begins on Friday with the heptathlon 60 meters hurdles at 9:00 a.m., followed by additional heptathlon and pentathlon events. Field events start at 10:00 a.m. with the weight throw, while running events begin at 4:00 p.m. with the 600 meters. On Saturday, the schedule resumes with the conclusion of heptathlon events at 8:30 a.m., field events starting at 9:00 a.m. with the high jump, and running events beginning at noon with the 60 meters preliminaries.
