EFEE FENCING, MODERN PENTATHLON n the pr0p0Sai 0f jts President, the International ) < Olympic Committee decided that, in the programme : I I /"j ••••. \ \ j of the Fifth Olympiad which was to be held in 1 I I V I. /j i| Stockholm in 1912, there should be placed a new .> \\. yy competition — the Modern Pentathlon — comprising the 1.™ ."'.Jfollowing events: athletics, fencing, riding, swimming and shooting. This decision was received with the greatest interest by the Swed­ ish Olympic Committee which took its first steps for the organization of the competition, as early as the autumn of 1910. This was no easy matter, however, for there was nothing to go by as re­ gards the new event as there was in the case of the other com­ petitions. In determining the five branches of sport that were to make up the Modern Pentathlon, the Swedish Olympic Committee had the following points in view: the five events ought to be such as would test the endurance, resolution, presence of mind, intrepidity, agility and strength of those taking part in the competition, while, in drawing up the detailed programme, it was necessary to have all the events of equivalent value, in order to make the Modern Penta­ thlon a competition of really all-round importance. As regards the shooting, which, of course, was not any test of physical strength, it was necessary to demand a corresponding degree of skill in that branch, in order to make it equivalent to each of the other iour events. EPEE FENCING, MODERN PENTATHLON. WERSALL (Sweden) v. ASBRINK (Sweden); 640 Source : Bibliothèque du CIO / IOC Library But this was not enough. It was also necessary to consider the reciprocal order in which the events should be placed, this being an Olympic competition, although the real value of the Modern Pen­ tathlon ought, of course, to consist in the fact, that a man who is really in perfect physical and psychical condition, and who is expert in the branches of sport in question, will always be able to satisfy these tests, irrespective of the order in which they come, so that, for example, he will be able to pass the shooting test perfectly well, •even if he has previously been swimming, riding across very rough country, taking part in a cross-country run, or, for a longer or shorter length of time, been engaged in meeting an opponent with the epee. Of course, the difficulty in executing the tests would be the same for all the competitors, so that, in this respect, the events could be placed in any order, but, on the other hand, there was the desire to obtain the best possible result that could be gained in each of the five events, so it was considered that the most suitable method to be adopted for the Olympic Games would be to place the events in a certain order, in accordance with the claim each made on the skill and endurance, etc., of the competitor. In consequence of the character of the Modern Pentathlon, the question may be asked whether, eventually, the competition should not be so arranged that the competitor is left in ignorance of the order EPEE FENCING, MODERN PENTATHLON. in which the five events are to be taken, and that the order is de­ DE MAS LATRIE (France) 2:nd Man—G.

This arrangement, however, might have the result of unsteadying the competitors to some degree, and of making it a matter of exceeding difficulty for the Olympic Committee to organize the competition. The following brief account of the arrangements made for each of the various branches of the Modern Pentathlon at the Fifth Olympiad, in Stockholm, is given as some aid for future Olympic Games. Shooting. In the autumn of 1911, the Swedish Olympic Committee proposed that the shooting should be carried out with pistols (so-called "Duel- shooting") at a distance of 20 metres, at a disappearing target con­ sisting of a whole-figure, which was to be visible tor 3 seconds. Later on, however, the thought arose that it would be better to increase this, perhaps, too short, distance by 5 metres, so as to make the event more in accordance with the value of the competition, and so the distance of 25 metres was adopted. The target was to consist of standing whole-figure, 1.70 metres high, i. e., corresponding in length to a man of normal height; the .greatest breadth was 0.50 metre. In order to determine the respective value of the hits, the figure was to be divided into 10 zones, the bull's-eye to count 10. The figure was to be visible 3 seconds, with an interval of 10 seconds between each shot, this period being fixed so as to allow ample time for reloading, for such competitors as did EPEE FENCING, MODERN PENTATHLON. not use automatically loading pistols.

In other respects, The free swimming style must also be considered as the only one- no attention was to be paid to the time taken for the competition, that could be adopted. The event was arranged in heats without any but the event should be decided by the points given for form in the final, the time taken being the only decisive factor. execution of the ride, the way in which the obstacles were taken, etc. In the event, however, of two or more competitors having the same number of points, the result was to be decided by the time taken.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Nick Thierry Recipient of the 2013 R. Max Ritter Award Presented by United States Aquatic Sports
    Nick Thierry Recipient of the 2013 R. Max Ritter Award Presented by United States Aquatic Sports Nick Thierry is the 2013 recipient of the R. Max Ritter Award presented posthumously and in recognition of his life-long affair with swimming. United States Aquatic Sports honors the memory of a man whose unselfish contributions including keeping the history book of swimming straight, simple and true for the benefit of athletes, coaches and also for national federations as well as the international body FINA. "Before his passing on October 2, 2012 Nick invested in the development of a database that contains 40 years of swimming rankings and statistics. That immense work is part of his legacy. When swimmers swim head to head in elite international competition, their foremost goal is to beat the opposition. Once the race is over and they glance up to the scoreboard to see their finish place, their next thought is, "My time, did I do a personal best? Was it a record?" Moments after swimmers hit the finish wall, Nick Thierry took over. Nick Thierry kept the record of the sport alive for more than four decades as the keeper of the world rankings. He was the bastion of swimming statistics and a pioneer in the art of swimming news. His guardianship of the record of athletes performances has been treasured by swimmers, coaches, sports scientists, journalists, sports institutions and swimming federations since he first started to register and chronicle all meets that produced performances worthy of a place in the top 300 across all events. Born in Hungary on December 2, 1938, Nick spent the first eight years of his life in Budapest.
