3000 metres

80 metres hurdles

The 80 metres hurdles was replaced by the 100 metres hurdles in 1972.

10 kilometers race walk

In the year 2000 and henceforth, the distance was doubled to 20 kilometers.

Pentathlon

In 1984 and thenceforth, the pentathlon (five events over two days) was replaced by the heptathlon (seven events over two days), so "discontinued" is not precisely correct. The heptathlon consists of the 200 meter and 800 meter runs, the 100 meter hurdles, the shot put, the javelin throw, the high jump, and the long jump in track and field: three track events and four field events.
