UNDERSTAND MODERN PENTATHLON

Modern Pentathlon is a unique multi-discipline sport created by Modern Olympic Games founder, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, that combines mental and physical challenge to find the most complete athlete.

FENCING

The Modern Pentathlon competition starts with the Epée Fencing. In the Ranking Round, each athlete fences against each of their rivals in bouts that last up to a minute. Just one hit is needed to win. If neither fencer has scored a hit after 60 seconds they both register a defeat.

An athlete who wins 25 of their 35 bouts will get 250 pentathlon points, with each victory or defeat above or below this number worth a plus or minus score of 6 points.
In this way, a pentathlete may continue to advance as long as they continue to win matches. The bout winner receives one bonus point for each bout they win.
In the final round, called the Bonus Round, a single fencing piste is used and the competition is a one-on-one fight, each bout lasting maximum 45 seconds. The competition is carried out in reverse order, with the last-place athlete going first against the next-placed athlete. The winner of each bout will be matched against the next best-ranked pentathlete.

SWIMMING

The swimming event is a 200m freestyle race. The heats are seeded with the fastest swimmers competing in the final heat. A time of 2:30 is worth 250 pentathlon points and every third of a second faster or slower than this time is being worth a plus or minus score of one point.

RIDING

In the riding event, athletes have to complete a show jumping course that is between 350 – 450 meters including 12 obstacles and 15 jumps, in a set time. The horses are assigned randomly and each athlete only has 20 minutes and five practice jumps to get to know the horse in the warm-up ring, before coming out to compete.
A clear round within the time allowed is worth 300 pentathlon points.

Combined Event Running & Shooting

For the climax of the competition, athletes run a total distance of 3,200m, stopping to shoot and hit the target five times from 10 meters distance before each 800m leg – this is repeated four times. Athletes can start running the next 800m leg once they have hit the target five times. If they still have not hit the target five times after 50 seconds, so they are allowed to continue, but any hopes of a medal will have gone.

The competitor who has amassed the most points in the first three events starts the combined event first, with the rest of the field facing a one second handicap for each pentathlon point by which they trail the leader.
This ensures that the first person to cross the finish line wins the Gold medal.
