HISTORY OF MODERN PENTATHLON
MODERN PENTATHLON COMPETITIONS
The Greek Olympic Games Pentathlon
Olympic Games
The Pentathlon: consisting of running the length of the stadium, Long jump,
throwing a spear, throwing a discus and wrestling, was introduced for the
first time at the 18th Olympiad in 708 BC and held a position of unique
importance in the Games. It was considered to be the climax, with the
winner ranked as "Victor Ludorum". Admiration for the Ancient Pentathlon
was fully shared by the founder of the Modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de
Coubertin and from 1909 he tried to have the event re-introduced into the
Olympic programme.
From 1912 to 1980 the Olympic Modern Pentathlon competition was
held over five days with one event per day. Between 1984 and 1992, the
competition was held over four days. For the Atlanta Olympic Games in
1996, the competition was a one-day event. In 1998, the UIPM received
approval for women to compete in the Sydney 2000 Olympics. At Sydney all
Pentathlon venues were 96% sold out. In Athens and Beijing Pentathlon was
100% sold out and in London tickets sold out within a day.
World Championships
The Modern Pentathlon
World Championships take place annually:
Modern Pentathlon was introduced at the 5th Olympiad in
Stockholm 1912 and marked its 100 year anniversary in London 2012. In
Stockholm it comprised the contemporary sports of pistol shooting, fencing,
swimming, horse riding and running. It was Pierre De Coubertin’s belief that
it would be this event, above all others, that "tested a man’s moral qualities
as much as his physical resources and skills, producing thereby the ideal,
complete athlete.”
For Senior men from
1949
For Senior women from
1981
For Junior men from
1965
For Junior women from
1989
For Youth A (17-18 years),
Men & Women from 1994
World Championship include: individual, team, team relay and mixed
relay events. Youth World Championships differ slightly in that they do not
include riding.
In 2013, the way the 36 athletes qualify for the final will be different:
•2 groups - the top 12 from each group + 12 with the highest score of all groups
•3 groups - the top 8 from each group + 12 with the highest score of all groups
•4 groups - the top 6 from each group + 12 with the highest score of all groups

The athletes then compete in the Final, one day later, which is therefore
comprised of the best 36 competitors from these qualifiers. Individual
medals are awarded as well as team medals which are decided by adding
the three individual team member’s scores together. For the relay event
this consists of 16 teams of three athletes competing in a continuous relay
completed in one day. Each team member swims 100m, fences one opposing
team member, rides a horse over 9 x show jumps and completes the
competition with the combined event that consists of 2 series of shooting
and 2 x 800m running.

MODERN PENTATHLON COMPETITIONS
World Cup Series
A World Cup Series for both Men and Women has been organised since
1990. Each year between 4 and 6 World Cup competitions and a World Cup
Final are organised and the whole package is called the World Cup Series.
36 athletes compete in the World Cup Final.
Mixed Relay World Cup Series
2013 will see the first Mixed Relay World Cup Series. In each World Cup, there
will be 16 pairs and the best 8 pairs will advance to the World Cup Final.
Biathle
Designed as a ‘Sport for All’, Biathle has been practised for over 50 years.
Through Biathle the UIPM has established a competition comprised of the
two fundamental components of Modern Pentathlon and most practised
sports in the world – run and swim.
The Biathle competition begins with a pack start of runners who complete
one-half of the total running distance before entering a 50 meter transition
area. Athletes then dive into the water and swim the required swimming
distance before exiting the water, putting on their shoes and running the
second leg of the run to the finish line. The first athlete to cross the finish
line wins.
THE FIVE EVENTS
The sport was invented as the ultimate physical and mental test of an
Olympic athlete by the founder of the modern Olympic Games, Baron Pierre
de Coubertin, in 1909 and held for the first time in the Olympic Games in
1912. While the sports disciplines chosen 100 years ago remain, the rules
have evolved to make Modern Pentathlon even more challenging for the
athletes and even more exciting for spectators.
All five events now take place over a single day, instead of the initial five
days, and the shooting and running disciplines have been combined to create
a thrilling climax to the event. Points awarded to athletes in the first three
events are converted into a time handicap for the final combined event, with
every four points giving a one second advantage.
So if you’re new to the sport, just remember that the first athlete to cross
the finish line in the final combined event wins the Gold medal.
The competition format is as follows:
Fencing
The Modern Pentathlon starts with
the fencing. Each athlete fences
against all his or her rivals with an
electric epée in bouts that last up to
a minute. Just one hit is needed to
win each contest. If neither fencer
has scored a hit after 60 seconds
then both register a defeat so the
action can get pretty frenetic in the
final seconds.
An athlete who wins 25 of their
35 bouts will get 1,000 pentathlon
points, with each victory or defeat
above or below this number worth
a plus or minus score of 24 points.
That makes every fencing victory
worth a six-second head start in the
final combined event.
School Biathle
In 2005 UIPM launched a new competition linked to the success of Biathle.
The event consists of the swimming and running disciplines. The swimming
discipline is conducted in a 25m or 50m pool and the running discipline is
conducted on any flat surface. The swimming discipline is conducted first
and the running discipline is mass start. The Final result is the sum of the
swimming and running points.
The originality of the ‘World School
Biathle’ is that schools will take part
to this international competition by
entering their results in a global
database using the UIPM website (www.
pentathlon.org) directly from their
location. Therefore this competition
does not require any funding for
transportation or lodging. All can be
made ‘at home’ by the registered
physical education teacher or coach.

Swimming
Combined event: running and shooting
Next, the athletes head to the pool
for the second event - 200m freestyle
swim. The races are seeded, with the
fastest swimmers competing in the
final heat.
A time of 2:30 is worth 1,000
pentathlon points; every third of
a second faster or slower than this
time will be worth a plus or minus
score of four points. So a one-second
advantage over a rival in the pool
would give a competitor a threesecond head start in the combined
event.
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
metres distance before each 800m leg; this
is repeated four times. Athletes can start
running the next 800m leg once they’ve hit
the target five times. If they still haven’t hit
five the target five times after 50 seconds
they are allowed to continue, but any hopes
of a medal will have gone. At London 2012,
laser guns were used instead of pellet pistols
for the first time in an Olympic Games.
The competitor who’s 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 every
four pentathlon points by which they trail
the leader.
This ensures that the first person to cross
the finish line wins the Gold medal.
Riding
In the riding event, the athletes have to
complete a show jumping course that is
between 350m-450m and includes 12
obstacles in a set time. To make things
harder, the athletes ride unfamiliar
horses that are assigned randomly.
Each athlete gets just 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 1,200 pentathlon points.
Competitors lose 40 points for each
jump they knock down, for a refusal
to jump or for the first fall, which is
equivalent to a 10-second handicap in
the combined event. They also lose four
points for each second they are over
the allowed time.
It’s necessary to cross the final line
otherwise the rider will be eliminated
with zero points for the riding.

2013 RULE CHANGES
2013 MAJOR COMPETITIONS
The combined event will now have 4 shooting series (still of 5 shots) and 4
laps of 800m running. This has changed from 3 shooting series and 3 laps of
1000m running.
What
When
Where
The time out for shooting is now 50 seconds, reduced from 70 seconds. So,
if the athlete does not hit their 5 shots in 50 seconds, they time out and can
start running.

Each penalty in riding, such as a knockdown, refusal and first fall is now all
40 points.
In 2013, if an athlete does NOT finish the riding course, they will get 0
points. This is the same as running or swimming. Previously if a rider did not
complete the course they still received points. Reasons why they would not
finish the course would be: 4 refusals & 2 fall downs which means they are
eliminated or an injury sustained to the athlete or the horse.
The way athletes qualify for the finals has now changed:
In 2013, the way the 36 athletes qualify for the final will be different:
•2 groups - the top 12 from each group + 12 with the highest score of all groups
•3 groups - the top 8 from each group + 12 with the highest score of all groups
•4 groups - the top 6 from each group + 12 with the highest score of all groups
This will mean that athletes have to run hard to the end to ensure
qualification which will bring much more excitement to the qualification days.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FACTS
1.Tage Bjurefelt (SWE) was the first World Champion in 1949. He won three of the five events but then, after his single victory, he never
competed in a major competition again.
2.Lars Hall (SWE) who won the next two World Championships is one of a
small number of men who have won both World and Olympic individual
titles. The others are Balczó (HUN), Peciak (POL), Masala (ITA),
Starostin (URS), Skrzypaszek (POL) and Svatkovsky (RUS).
3.Among the women, only Stephanie Cook (GBR) and Zsuzsanna Vörös
(HUN) have won both World and Olympic titles.
4.Winning the World Championship in Olympic year has, unfortunately,
not been a good predictor of Olympic success. Zsuzsanna Vörös (HUN)
is the only pentathlete to have achieved this feat.
5.World champions, Igor Novikov (URS), Björn Thofelt (SWE), Pavel
Lednev (URS), Boris Onischenko (URS) and Janusz Peciak (POL) have
something else in common: they all scored zero points in the riding
event of a World Championship.
6.In 1994, the women’s teams from Poland and Italy tied for first place
with exactly 15,352 points each. Positions in each event had to be
calculated and that gave the victory to Italy.
7.When Anna Sulima (POL) won the individual title in 1998 she was
adding to some impressive career success in the World Championship.
Apart from that individual gold, she had won 8 golds, a silver and a
bronze in the team event and 3 golds and a silver in the relay.
8.Sulima’s team mate, Dorota Idzi was possibly even more successful.
She won the individual gold in 1988 plus a silver and 3 bronzes. In the
team event she won 7 golds, a silver and a bronze and in the relay, 6
gold medals.
9.On only four occasions has the podium in the individual event been
filled entirely by members of the same nation. In 1957, 1973 and 1974
the USSR’s men had a clean sweep and in 1982 Great Britain’s women
achieved the same triumph.
10.China produced its first two individual World Champions, one male, one
female, Qian Zhenhua (2005) and Chen Qian (2009). Korea’s victory in
the Men’s Relay in 2012 also showed that Asian pentathletes are now
leading the world.
12
11.In 1953, Hungary and Sweden were the only European teams at the
event in Chile. Hungary won comfortably but a protest from Sweden
about a riding infringement had the Hungarians disqualified and Sweden
named the new champions. Sweden never won the team event again.
12.Hungary has won the most gold medals in the men’s competition
(13 individual, 17 team and 10 relay).
13.Poland is the most successful women’s team (5 individual, 11 team,
8 relay, and 1 mixed relay).
14.In the short history of the Mixed Relay (2010-2012), the Ukraine
team have claimed the event as their own with two golds and one
silver medal.
15.Not many athletes have won both Junior and Senior World
Championships. Men in that category are: Kelemen (HUN), Starostin
(URS), Fábián (HUN), Svatkovsky (RUS), Balogh (HUN), Moiseev (RUS),
Marosi (HUN) and Karyakin (RUS). Women who have won both titles
are: Suvorova (RUS), Vörös (HUN) and the only non-Hungarian /
Russian in the list, Claudia Corsini (ITA).
16.Teams from North America have won the Men’s team title on three
occasions: USA (1979), Mexico (1998) and USA again (2000). However,
the Women’s individual title was won by Lynn Chornobrywy (CAN) in
1983 and by Lori Norwood (USA) in 1989. Bob Nieman (USA) was also
World Men’s Champion in 1979.
17.Nico Motchebon (GER) who won silver and bronze relay medals at the
1989 and 1991 World Championships made a very unusual sporting
transition. In 1995 he broke Sebastian Coe’s European 800m record
and then finished 5th in the 1996 Olympic final in Atlanta.
18.When Pernille Svarre (DEN) became World Champion in 2000, it was
the result of a long hard battle. She had competed since the very first
Women’s World Championship in 1981, nineteen years before.
19.Sophie Moressee (FRA), a silver medallist in 1986, also had a long
career in Modern Pentathlon. She went on to become a member of
France’s gold-medal winning epée team at Atlanta in 1996.
20.In the early years of the Men’s World Championships, when numbers
were low, there were, nevertheless, entries from countries such as
Argentina, Chile, Belgium, Cuba, and Uruguay.

2013 MIXED RELAY WORLD CUP SERIES
In 2013, there will be the first ever, Mixed Relay World Cup Series, as UIPM
pushed the discipline to be included in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.
The mixed relay made its debut on the senior circuit at the 2010 World
Championships and has been a regular fixture at all World Championships since.
Basic rules of how a Mixed Relay works:
• Each mixed relay pair comprises of one man and one women from the
same country.
The Mixed Relay World Cup Series will work by:
• Fencing: Each pair fences against each other in a round robin, with the men fencing the men and the women fencing the women from the
opposing team.
• Maximum of 16 pairs per event
• Swimming: Each pair swims in a 2x100 meter relay.
• Each country can submit a maximum of 2 pairs if there are remaining spots in the 16
• Riding: Both team members take it in turn to ride a 9 obstacle course.
• The top 12 pairs qualify for the World Cup Final through the Mixed Relay World Cup Series Ranking (best 3 results are added together)
• Countries can change their pairs throughout the World Cup Series
• Generous prize money is on offer for the Mixed Relay World Cup Final medal winners
•
Combined event: All the pairs' points are tallied from the previous 3 disciplines and the pair with the most points starts first. The women from the pairs starts first and completes 2 rounds of the combined event which involves 2 shooting series (hitting the target 5 times) and 2 rounds of 800m running. Once this is completed, the men then do the same and whomever crossed the finishing line first is the winner.
The inaugural 2013 Mixed Relay World Cup Series schedule:
• UIPM Mixed Relay World Cup #1 Palm Springs, USA 24 February 2013
• UIPM Mixed Relay World Cup #2 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 24 March 2013
• UIPM Mixed Relay World Cup #3 Chengdu, China 21 April
• UIPM Mixed Relay World Cup #4 Budapest, Hungary 12 May 2013
• UIPM Mixed Relay World Cup Final Nizhny–Novgorod, Russia 2 June 2013

LASER SHOOTING
During the London 2012 Olympic Games, laser shooting was used for the
first time at the Olympic level with huge success. Laser shooting was first
implemented on the senior circuit in the 2011 season after testing the
system at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games.
The new laser shooting technology has been developed to perfectly replicate
an athlete shooting with the traditional air pellet pistol, to stay coherent with
the rules. Right down to the laser staying in the barrel for 10ms, as this is as
long as it takes for a pellet to leave the pistol.
An athlete can change their air pellet pistol to a laser shooting pistol in a
matter of seconds by simply changing their barrel to an environmentally
friendly laser barrel.
All top level UIPM events in 2013 will be conducted with Precision Laser
Targets (PLT) which will give athletes real time feedback of where each shot
has gone on a personal screen next to them.
Why the change to laser shooting?
• Increased safety makes the sport more accessible to the masses. Now literally everyone can practice the sport from toddlers up!
• Reduction of lead pellets which leads to ton’s of dangerous lead
pollution, which is harmful to both athletes and the environment.
• Cheaper solutions to build shooting ranges, which can now be
transparent to allow better viewing of the action.
• Media and Spectators have the ability to get closer to the action as safety concerns are abolished.
• Ability to continually improve and develop the technology for more
interaction for the spectators and media.
• Enhanced capabilities for television data displays
• Increased level of shooting data can be produced
• Face on filming of athletes now a possibility
• Events can now be organised anywhere, even in a busy city centre as seen at the 2011 Champion of Champions.
