Modern Pentathlon
The modern pentathlon was introduced at the 1912 Olympics as a test of military skillsor, at least, the skills that were traditionally taught at military academies of the time. It was designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the chief founder of the modern Olympic Games. The concept behind the competition is that a military courier sets out on horseback to carry a message. Along the way, he has to fight a duel with epees, use his pistol, swim across a river, and then run through the woods to reach his goal. Only Army officers were allowed to participate in 1912, when the United States was represented by a 26-year-old second lieutenant, George S. Patton, a skilled rider and fencer. Patton did very well in four of the events and might well have won the gold medal except for his poor marksmanship. He finished 21st in the pistol shooting event, which dropped him to fifth overall. Scoring was originally based on a competitor's placing in the various events, with the lowest score winning. It's now based on a scoring table similar to the one used in track and field for the decathlon. Standards are set for each event and a competitor receives 1,000 points for equalling the standard. Points are added if the standard is exceeded and subtracted if the performance falls below the standard. The events have changed somewhat since 1912. The equestrian event, originally a 5,000-meter cross-country ride against time, is now a 400-meter stadium jumping course. The swimming event has been cut from 300 meters to 200 meters, the cross-country running event from 4,000 meters to 3,000 meters. The shooting event, originally a 22-caliber pistol shot from 25 meters at a turning target, has become a 10-meter air pistol shot at a stationary target.

It was introduced to the ancient Olympics in the eighth century BC after the Spartans complained that too many Olympic events favoured civilians and did nothing to reward the skills of the warrior. In those days the sport was an elimination event featuring five disciplines: discus, spear throwing, long jump, running and wrestling. The idea was that weaker competitors were progressively eliminated until just two remained to wrestle for the title. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the Modern Olympics, obviously liked the idea and was keen to incorporate a similar event in the Games.

Olympic Modern Pentathlon Medalists
History
The modern pentathlon was created for the 1912 Olympics by Baron Pierre de Coubertin himself, and it's been in every Olympics since then, though the women's event wasn't added until 2000. A men's team competition was held from 1952 through 1992. The sport combines pistol shooting, fencing, equestrianism, cross-country running, and swimming. Originally, it was held over a period of four or five days, but since 1996 all the events have been held on a single day. Up until 1952, a competitor's score were the total of his placings in each event, so the lowest score won. Since 1956, scoring tables have been used, as in track and field's pentathlon, heptathlon, and decathlon. Top of page

Modern pentathlon is a test of the "complete athlete" Modern pentathlon is the only sport to have been devised specifically for the Games by the International Olympic Committee.
It was introduced in Stockholm in 1912 by the founder of the modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, as a more contemporary take on the classical pentathlon. In ancient times, the pentathlon consisted of discus, javelin, running, jumping and wrestling and was the climax of the Games - a test of the most formidable athletes. Its modern counterpart was designed to represent the toils of a 19th-century French cavalry officer, forced to shoot, fence, swim, ride and run his way across hostile territory to deliver a message. De Coubertin's vision was that the event should "test a man's moral qualities as much as his physical resources and skills, producing thereby the ideal, complete athlete".

Pentathlon Scoring Team Relay Competitions Calendar of Events Resources Pentathlon News Contact Modern Pentathlon History Admiration for the ancient pentathlon was fully shared by the founder of the modem Olympic Games, Baron Pierre de Coubertin. He persuaded the Olympic Committee to introduce Modem Pentathlon at the 5th Olympic Games of the modem era in Stockholm, Sweden in 1912. It was his belief that this event, above all others, "tested an athlete's moral qualities as much as their physical resources and skills, producing thereby the ideal, complete athlete." The choice of the five diverse and unrelated sports that make up the Modem Pentathlon arose out of a romantic vision of the wild adventures of a liaison officer whose horse is brought down in enemy territory. He defends himself with his pistol and sword, swims across a raging river and finally delivers the message on foot. Thus the modern pentathlon's five disciplines - show-jumping, shooting, fencing, swimming and cross-country running - were chosen.
