The Pentathlon of women in the 1978 European Athletics Championships was on 2 September 1978 at the Stadium Evžena Rošického of Prague held.
With the 800-meter run , a middle distance became part of this competition for the first time . This discipline replaced the 200-meter run as the final exercise. However, that was only a temporary change. The pentathlon was last played as a women's all- around event at the European Championships. After the competition at the 1980 Olympic Games was on the program again in this form, it was then replaced by the heptathlon at all major international championships .
In the pentathlon, the GDR athletes won two medals with silver and bronze at these European championships. The Hungarian Margit Papp won . As at the two previous European Championships in 1971 and 1974, Burglinde Pollak took second place , who had also collected two Olympic bronze medals in 1972 and 1976 . Kristine Nitzsche came third .

New championship record
Due to the new composition of the five exercises in this all-around competition - the 800-meter run instead of the 200-meter run - the scores from earlier competitions were not comparable with the results after the new form of competition. Thus, the European champion Margit Papp set a new championship record with her 4655 points - 4694 P according to today's rating system for the heptathlon .
doping
There were two doping cases in this competition:
- Originally, the Soviet athlete Nadija Tkachenko was ahead with 4744 points. However, the title was subsequently revoked for a doping offense .
- The first fifth place Jekaterina Gordijenko, also from the USSR, was also subsequently disqualified for violating the doping regulations.
The athletes, who were initially placed behind Tkachenko and Gordijenko in the final, moved up one rank each.
Rating
Valuation was based on the points table from 1977, in which a change of discipline in this competition was taken into account. Because instead of the 200-meter run , the final exercise was the 800-meter run .
For orientation and classification of the performances, the scores achieved for the heptathlon according to the current rating system from 1985 are listed for comparison . After that there would have been a change in the placements: the silver and bronze medals would have to be swapped.
But these comparisons are only indicative, because the different standards of the time must apply as a basis.
