Sounds like a pretty weird combination, huh? Did You Know? American George Patton (yes, that George Patton) was a strong challenger for the modern pentathlon gold in 1912 but faltered in the shooting competition. As the story goes, a young French officer in Napoleon's army was sent on an unfamiliar horse to deliver a message into hostile territory. He was first greeted by an enemy soldier with his sword drawn. The two dueled. The French officer won the duel and continued on his horse until it was shot out from under him. He fired a shot with his pistol and killed the enemy but his horse didn't make it. He swam across a river and ran the rest of the way to deliver his message. When he arrived, his commanding officer greeted him with, "What took you?" The modern pentathlon used to be drawn out over anywhere from four to six days. Beginning with the Atlanta games in

Modern Pentathlon There was a Pentathlon in the ancient Olympic games. The sports were discus throw, javelin, long jump, stadium-length race, and wrestling. When the Olympics returned Baron Pierre de Coubertin wanted to have a Modern Pentathlon. He decided to include Swimming, Fencing, Shooting, Running and Riding. The choice of sports was based on a warrior having to carry a message to the troops during a battle. At the Olympics all five events will take place on one day. Shooting is a sport which you need all of your concentration. It is held inside at a shooting range. The athletes use a 4.5mm calibre air-pistol and fire on a fixed target at a 10-metre distance. The athlete has to fire 20 shots and they get forty seconds between each shot. The equipment for shooting is a 4.5 mm calibre air-pistol and a sports shirt. The athlete scores between 1-10 on each shot. Fencing is a sport that requires self-control and quick thinking. It is also held indoors. The equipment for fencing is a fencing uniform, fencing glove, protective mask and a sword called an epee. The whole body of the athlete is considered a valid target for this objective. In Fencing, each time you get hit by the opponent, they get points added to the total. At the same time you get hit the opponent, the opponent gets one point and you lose 1 point. The athlete fences each of his or her opponents for one minute. Swimming requires strength, speed and good physical condition. Swimming takes place in an Olympic swimming pools that is 50 meters long. It can be indoors or outdoors. A swimmer needs a swim cap, a swimsuit, and eye goggles. The race is the 200 m freestyle. The fastest swimmer wins.

Skip navigation Sports Scores, schedules Hurricanes' impact ... Most Popular NBC NEWS MSNBC TV Today Show Nightly News Meet the Press ... Other sports Modern pentathlon Pentathlon fights for life past Beijing Games Russian pentathlete lobbies for sport, Moscow as host city in 2012 ATHENS, Greece - His sport likes to call its champions the complete sportsmen. One of them has come to Athens as the consummate salesman. Dmitry Svatkovsky has pulled challenging double duty: pitching Moscow's underdog bid for the 2012 Olympics and lobbying to save the eclectic mix of running, swimming, shooting, fencing and horse riding called modern pentathlon. "At least there's always something to talk about," said Svatkovsky, winner of the event in Sydney four years ago. He may be little known outside the small universe of his sport - the only one devised specifically for the Olympics. But the lanky Russian is someone to watch. He's in the thick of high-stakes action that never appears on any Olympic scorecard. The International Olympic Committee plans to meet next July in Singapore to decide on the 2012 summer host. Moscow is widely considered the outsider against powerful rivals New York, Paris, London and Madrid, Spain. The IOC also may vote on proposals to drop some Olympic sports. The three most likely - baseball, softball and modern pentathlon - escaped the ax this year and will remain at least until 2008. But it was just a reprieve, not a full pardon. There's pressure to buff up the Olympic schedule with sports appealing to the youth market coveted by sponsors and television advertisers.

CORRESPONDENCE: SIGNA BUTLER AND ELLIOTTE FRIEDMAN On the Olympic chopping block Submit Feedback Read Feedback Elliotte Friedman says modern penathlon is irrelevant and should be dumped from the Olympics. The Olympic sports menu is in flux. Each of the 28 sports contested at the Athens Olympics last summer are busy justifying their existence to the International Olympic Committee in anticipation of a July vote, which could determine their appearance at future Games. Any sport failing to get a majority will be dropped for the 2012 Olympics. Golf, rugby, karate, squash and roller sports are waiting to get in, but no sport will be added unless one is voted out. No sport has been cut from the Summer Olympics since polo in 1936. Weird sports have almost weaseled their way into the Olympic spotlight (remember suggestions of adding ballroom dancing?). And extreme sports have made a case for future consideration (BMX will debut at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games). What should stay and what should go?
