Running Swimming

Biathle is a sub-sport of Modern Pentathlon invented to create opportunities to train for the running and swimming elements of the sport in race conditions.

It is a world class sport that originated from a Sport for All initiative. The legs are raced with continuous transitions. The total race length for elite athletes is 200m swim and 3.2km run.

Running UIPM Sports Swimming World Schools is a fun and simple way to organize events that help National Federations increase their membership numbers, identify talent and recruit the right type of athletes for international events. As well as Modern Pentathlon, the traditional form of the sport which incorporates all five disciplines, the UIPM sanctions five other formats – Tetrathlon (four disciplines), The event consists of two separate disciplines, swimming and running. The swimming discipline takes place in a 25m (three disciplines), and three others involving two disciplines in the form of Biathle, World or 50m pool and is followed by the running discipline, which involves a pack start, preferably on a standardised track although it can also be carried out on a flat surface if extra care is taken so that the distances are correct. Schools Biathlon and Laser-Run. The age categories, ranging from under-9 to under-19, involve distances that rise from a 50m swim and a 400m run to a 200m swim and a 1600m run.

This is a great opportunity to give thousands of youngsters an experience of UIPM modern pentathlon with a scoring Swimming system that balances performances in the two different sports. Running Shooting Fencing

Tetrathlon is the last step before the full modern pentathlon event. Competitions feature swimming, running, shooting, and fencing, with all four taking place on the same day. This format is used at the Youth Olympic Games and World University Championships, for both genders. In addition, a Mixed Relay competition (1 woman, 1 man) is held. Running Shooting

Laser-Run is the latest original creation of UIPM, using a format of the combined shooting and running event which is designed to allow more athletes an entry point into the most demanding of . Shooting Swimming Laser-Run was launched in 2015 with its own World Championships. Athletes of all ages from eight to 80 can Running participate and the event can be staged on beaches, in cities and in the countryside. Laser-Run combines running and shooting in fast-paced and dynamic races including, for elite athletes, four rounds Triathle is a new development initiative from UIPM in which athletes compete in a shoot-swim-run format. of laser pistol shooting from 10m and four running laps of 800m. At each shooting range athletes need to hit the target five times before beginning the next lap. The total number of hits is 20 and total running distance is 3,200m. Triathle events are staged at both international and national level, with the highest echelon being the UIPM World Tour and UIPM World Championships, and there are two formats: UIPM Beach Triathle and UIPM Street Triathle. Ath- letes ranging from under 11 to over 60 participate in this innovative event which is carried out over a series of laps, the number determined by the age group.

The youngest athletes face an aggregate swim of 50m, a total run of 400m and 10 shots from a distance of three metres, while the seniors (aged 22 and over) swim a total of 200m, run 3.2km and are required to make 20 shots from 10m.

President’s Welcome Message

For the 24th time since Stockholm 1912, Many changes have taken place over the years to make the sport more television-friendly and more comprehensible. the legacy of Pierre de Coubertin will be After London 2012 a big step in the sport’s presentation was established. In the past, Fencing consisted only of the “Round Robin“ where every athlete had to fence against each other. celebrated at the Olympic Games, here As a new attraction for media and spectators the Bonus Round was introduced to follow the Ranking Round, taking in . Modern Pentathlon is place on a special piste in front of the main tribune. In elimination bouts, the athlete ranked 36 fences against now a very contemporary sport, with a 35, and so on, until only one is left. Victories are worth one second which can reduce the handicap gap between athletes. In only 50 minutes the presentation is over during which all the athletes have been been introduced to new structure for the five disciplines and spectators with extra details about their world-standing and personality.

a women’s competition that is making its After the the very exciting run/shoot creates a dramatic atmosphere for the athletes and also for fifth appearance since it was introduced viewers. The introduction of laser technology has been another big step taken by UIPM not only because it is environmentally friendly but it is cost effective for both athletes and organisers. at Sydney 2000. Through the high performance of the Modern Pentathletes we can demonstrate to audiences what it means to make the field of play futuristic through innovation, creativity and entertainment, and to pay respect to the ideas and interests of young generations. It is important for UIPM that both genders compete in the same disciplines and points structure. Equality of conditions for women and men demonstrates a level playing field base and balance in body and mind. Modern Pentathlon with its five different skills creates a platform for education, integration of all religions and cultures and spreads the message for a more friendly, humanitarian and peaceful world. Pierre de Coubertin’s philosophy was to “test a man’s moral qualities as much as his physical resources and skills producing thereby the ideal, complete athlete“. Pierre de Coubertin‘s ideas are still alive through Modern Pentathlon, the only sport created for the Olympic Movement. A legacy forever! This is a message we have applied to the women‘s movement which started in 1972 at the UIPMB Congress in Inzell during the in Munich.

The Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games organization placed UIPM in the Olympic Cluster of Deodoro which will create a special legacy for the 29th Summer Olympic Games.

Throughout the last 104 years Modern Pentathlon has adhered to the ideas of Pierre de Coubertin, who created our sport as a multi-pronged challenge originating from the Ancient Games of 708, where Lampis of Sparta was the first Dr. H.C. Klaus Schormann. winner of the Pentathlon (discus, , javelin, stadium run and ). UIPM President
