  • Modern Pentathlon
    Modern Pentathlon The roots of Modern Pentathlon can be traced to the ancient Pentathlon, which included the following five disciplines: discus throw, javelin, long jump, the stadium-length race, and wrestling. The ancient Pentathlon was incorporated into the ancient Olympic Games in 708 B.C., where Lambis Lakedaimonios was crowned the first Olympic victor. Pierre de Coubertin wished to include a combined sport into the programme of the modern Olympic Games, which would highlight the prototype of the multi- faceted “super athlete”, someone who combines strength, technique and a strong personality. Inspired by the ancient Pentathlon, he created the Modern pentathlon, a sport that combines technical disciplines such as Shooting, Fencing and Riding, together with strength and endurance disciplines like Swimming and Cross-country running. The choice of these sports was based on the legend of a warrior who, having to convey a message to the rear of the fighting forces, had to battle on horseback with his pistol and sword. However, because his horse was killed in the process, he had to swim and run to complete his mission. Description The combination of five completely different sports constitutes Modern Pentathlon, the most demanding sport of the Olympic Games. Pentathletes compete in the course of one day, in the following five disciplines: Shooting, Fencing, Swimming, Riding, and Cross-country running. Modern Pentathlon men and women athletes need to have strength, endurance, quick reflexes and concentration, in order to meet the high demands of the sport. Plato understandably made the following statement: “The philosopher lacks in specialised sciences but is good in all other social functions and expressions, and that is why he is the best among the educated, as is the pentathlete the best amongst all other athletes”.

  • Why the Thoroughly 'Modern'
    25 NOV 2020 WHY THE THOROUGHLY ‘MODERN’ PENTATHLON NEEDS TO BECOME A 90- MINUTE WONDER This article was written by Alan Hubbard and first appeared on insidethegames.biz. To some the modern pentathlon may sound as if it has been plucked from Strictly Come Dancing, rather like the American smooth or the Boston two-step. To the more discerning it is the ultimate sporting test in strength, skill, endurance and tactical nous, that is the very essence of Olympism. It has been so since 1912 when the founder of the Modern Games, Baron Pierre to Coubertin, whose brainchild it was, first introduced it in Stockholm. It was then a multi-day five discipline event – running, shooting, swimming, riding and fencing – for some 84 years until the requirements of television for a more compact version of the sport saw it condensed into a single day for Atlanta 1996. Times change, and in the case of the mod pen, quite literally so. In order to survive as an Olympic event those who run the sport internationally are now proposing that it is concertinaed into - wait for it - just 90 minutes. It sounds unbelievable - in fact virtually impossible - but the governing body believe it must be done in order to escape the anticipated Olympic cull that is likely to take place over the next four years. There is British support for such revamping as modern pentathlon has brought a multitude of successes to Team GB and individual athletes in both male and female Olympic, world and European competitions over the years. Now for Paris 2024 - and beyond to Los Angeles in 2028 - it is envisaged that 12 finalists will compete in the traditional events with running and shooting by laser (as introduced at London 2012) combined into a sort of summer biathlon.
