Athletic contest with ten events (9)

I believe the answer is:

decathlon

(Other definitions for decathlon that I've seen before include "Series of events" , "Athletic contest with ten different events" , "Versatile Olympic event" , "Olympic athletics event" , "Sporting event with 10 disciplines" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
