The competition features 14 athletes with a personal best over the 6,000 points barrier including Spain's 20-year-old María Vicente, who is a two-time European age group champion and under-18 world champion.

Despite only recently becoming a senior, her best of 6,115 points is a Spanish national record.

Also in the field is Géraldine Ruckstuhl from Switzerland with a personal best of 6,391 points, who is also an under-18 world champion and a gold medallist in the women's heptathlon at the 2019 European Under-23 Championships.

Austria's Sarah Lagger is an under-20 world champion, as well as a European bronze medallist in the same age group.

She finished third at the World Athletics Combined Events Challenge at the Meeting de la Réunion in December.

Britain's Holly Mills also looks like the next great prospect from a nation that has produced some of the best heptathletes this century including Denise Lewis, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

An under-18 European and Commonwealth Youth Games champion, Mills is starting to show the form of those before her, recently finishing fifth in the pentathlon at the European Indoor Athletics Championships earlier this year when she was still only 19.

In the men's decathlon the favourite is Jorge Ureña of Spain, the 2019 men's heptathlon champion at the European Indoor Championships.

He finished ninth in the decathlon at the 2017 World Championships in London.

However, Larbi Bourrada of Algeria could pose a threat, with his best result being at the Rio 2016 Olympics when he finished fifth.

Norway's Martin Roe and the Czech trio of Adam Helcelet, Jiri Sykora and Jan Dolezal could also feature on the podium at the event.
