  • Aleksander Lesun Is the New World Champion
    07 SEP 2014 WARSAW 2014 - ALEKSANDER LESUN IS THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION Aleksander LESUN (Russia) confirmed his status as the world's leading male pentathlete by winning Gold today in the Men's Individual event at the Warsaw 2014 Modern Pentathlon World Championships. Already ranked No.1 in the New Balance World Rankings, 26-year-old Lesun extended his lead as he completed a magical year in the perfect fashion in the Polish capital. The Belarus-born Russian had already won gold at the 2014 World Cup Finals and 2014 European Championships. In fact, Lesun now has three World Championship titles to his name, having won the Men's Individual event in Rome in 2012 and gold in the Team event a year earlier, in Moscow. After the disappointment of the London 2012 Olympic Games, where he finished fourth, he has responded like a true champion this year to achieve total domination. After receiving his Gold medal, Lesun (Rus) admitted that his next major goal was to win the Olympic Modern Pentathlon title, currently held by David Svoboda of Czech Republic, in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. He said: "I am knocking on the door of David Svoboda. I'm looking at Rio 2016. That's my plan." Lesun (Rus) had to pass a major examination of his fitness, concentration and composure to pull off this victory, with Amro El Geziry (Egypt) keeping him under very close observation all day. El Geziry won Silver and the Bronze went to Jan Kuf (Czech Republic), a result that rewarded two athletes who had been ranked outside the top 10 before coming to Poland.

This revolutionary innovation will make its Olympic debut in Rio 2016 (currently in discussions) and will once again enhance our great sport to the spectators and media.

I often highlight the fact that Modern Pentathlon is a thrilling spectacle to watch, but at the same time a safe and responsible sport. Above all, it is an innova- tive sport, one that never stops wanting to grow and evolve, and this was never more apparent than in 2014. One of the cornerstones of our development is the cultivation of the non-Olympic sub-sports of Biathle, Triathle and Tetrathlon, all of which en- joyed unprecedented growth this year.
