The reality of such a task, however, means years of preparation. Before an event with the magnitude of the Olympic Games can be staged, numerous other championships must pave the way. Once such event is the 2002 Modern Pentathlon World Championship, which will be held at Stanford this summer. The world's most "complete athletes" will shoot, fence, swim, ride and run at Stanford from July 15-21 to determine this year's world champions. "Stanford University is honored to host the current and future Olympians who will be competing in this summer's Modern Pentathlon World Championship," said Stanford Athletic Director Ted Leland. "By successfully staging this World Championship, Stanford University and the San Francisco Bay Area will once again demonstrate that we're the ideal location for hosting the biggest and best of international sporting events." Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne President Klaus Schormann, speaking at a San Francisco press conference Monday, said: "I am convinced the San Francisco Bay Area will prove to have been the ideal place to test 'the complete athlete'. With our presence here, we are following in the footsteps of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games. He spoke of Modern Pentathlon in San Francisco 87 years ago to the day. We are delighted to honor him by bringing the World Championships to the San Francisco Bay Area and Stanford University this summer."

Nashwa Abdel-Tawab sees how they did in what is known as the complete sport Click to view caption Hossam leapt to Athens photo: Ayman Ibrahim The number of Egyptian athletes heading for Athens this summer to play in the Olympics is growing. Two more were added this week Raouf Hossam and Aya Medani, both winners of the modern pentathlon championship staged in Cairo. Hossam, 22, qualified for the Olympics after garnering 5,320 points. "It's my greatest victory so far and I cherish it because it will be my first Olympics," Hossam said. Hossam started the pentathlon at 12 with his twin brother Mohamed and neighbour Ahmed Kotb. They were good swimmers and runners and wanted to play the "true Olympic sport that most accurately conveys the ideals of the Olympics". In the women's event Medani, the youngest female in the four-member Egyptian team, became the African champion and Athens qualifier. Medani, who received 5,108 points, was the under-18 world champion in 2003. She started practising when she was nine and is taking it seriously. "I'm very happy I won. I was focussed and I hope to do well in my first Olympics." Hoda Ghoneim, 16, got 4,756; Omnia Fakhri, 23, received 4,600; Yasmine Khaled, 16, 3,944 points. Fakhri was the favourite but was unlucky in her riding.
Off The Kuff: Baseball Still An Olympic Sport softball, and the modern pentathlon from olympic competition has been postponed It is a complete joke that Baseball was ever made an olympic sport. http://www.offthekuff.com/mt/archives/001107.html
Extractions: Contact me: kuff - at - offthekuff.com Main November 30, 2002 Baseball still an Olympic sport A decision on whether or not to drop baseball, softball, and the modern pentathlon from Olympic competition has been postponed until after the 2004 Games, thus ensuring that all three sports will continue through at least 2008. This is a good thing. After 10-minute presentations to the assembly by leaders of the three endangered sports, dozens of rank-and-file IOC members took the floor to question the whole process and push for a postponement. Of the 39 speakers, not a single one spoke in favor of the proposals to cut the sports. ''It is urgent to wait,'' Senegalese member Youssoupha Ndiaye said in a statement that summed up much of the 2½-hour debate. [IOC President Jacques Rogge, who pushed the reduction,] then conferred with his executive board and submitted a proposal to put off any deletion of sports until after Athens. Of the 117 attending members, only two raised their hands against the postponement, while four abstained. On a separate motion, the members approved the ''general principles'' of the IOC's review of the sports program. The last sport dropped from the Summer Olympics was polo in 1936, and IOC members made clear they had no desire for radical change now.
