Modern Pentathlon
The modern pentathlon combines four events from five sports:
Swimming, with a 200m freestyle;
Fencing, with first a ranking tournament in the form of one-minute matches against all other athletes. Depending on the ranking of this tournament, the athletes then compete in a bonus fencing event, which takes place in the form of a knockout tournament. The fights last 30 seconds, and each victory brings a bonus point to the athlete’s score in the ranking event.
Horseback riding, with a show jumping course on a horse that the athlete does not know and that he drew at random twenty minutes before the start of the event;
Running and shooting, with a laser-run where the athletes follow phases of running and phases of shooting on five targets, at a distance of ten meters.
To attend these multidisciplinary events, consider reserving your parking with Q-Park. This service allows you to easily access competition venues and enjoy every moment of the action.
