In decathlon and heptathlon, each performance is converted to points using IAAF scoring tables—it’s a mathematical formula where better marks earn exponentially higher points. But from my centre’s annual sports day, I’ve learned formulas can’t measure a child’s grit running in worn-out shoes. So while the tables calculate ‘points’, real victory is in participation when the Wi-Fi is out and the only grant is their effort.
