  2. Modern Pentathlon it is a multi sport The founder of the Modern pentathlon has been Baron Pier de Coubertin. The founder of the Modern Olympic games The five sport Are: Fencing Swimming Riding Shooting + Running (Combined Event)

  3. The Modern pentathlon legend 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.

  4. The modern pentathlon at the beginning De Coubertin knew the event would appeal to the military and he felt it would help foster peace by ensuring the world's soldiers could engage in friendly competition. Not surprisingly, it was the military who most enthusiastically adopted this new sport with its inherent demands of courage, coordination, physical fitness, self-discipline and flexibility in ever-changing circumstances. Now the sport it is an universal one. It is practiced from: more that 90 nations on the Five continents, Military and civilians people Men an Women. It is a Sport without age. The officials competition are possible from 10 year (youth E) till the Master ( starting from 30 years older)

  31. International Licenses (more information ) The Athletes that have not an international licence cannot star in any international competitions. Why? Because only using the international licences we are sure of the identity of each athlete. Only if we are sure of the identities of the athletes we can create a system that consents: Before the competition: the preparation of the competitions groups, the star list in fencing and swimming and, During the competition: to show live official results on the UIPM web After the competition: to update the correspondent rankings: (PWR) or (world Cup ranking), without wait one month to know the update rankings list

In such a case, the host Continent requests the respective Continental Confederation's) to invite its/their own NFs to participatein the championships.

  38. World Championships Relay With 3 athletesQualifications criteria • Participation in the World Championships Relay is possible only on the basis of the results of the Continental Championships or Qualification Competitions for Relay on the particular continent. • If a Continental Championship (with the exception of Europe) does not include a Relay, the results in the team competition of the Individuals will be used. • If there is no team competition, the results from the PWR list dated 60 days before the competition will be used. • NFs may enter different pentathletes than those entered in the Individual competition. • The NF of which the Relay team became World Champion in the preceding year is included within these 16teams, whereby its place is gathered from the quota of the continent where the NF is located. • If the there is a renunciation of one or more teams from one Continent to take part in the Relay World Championships, the place must be assigned to the first reserve team of the same Continent and so on until all the free places are covered. If the continent does not have reserves, the place must be assigned to the nation with the highest result from their top three pentathletes on the PWR list dated 60 days before the competition.

  39. World Championships Relay With 3 athletes The continents will be represented as follows: • * Africa 1 team • * America North and Central 2 team • * America South 1 team • * Asia 3 teams • * Europe 7 teams • * Oceania 1 team • * Host Federation (guaranteed) 1 team • Total: 16 teams

  40. World Championships Relay With 2 athletes • allows20 teams to compete in a one-day format in each category. • This Relay competition is organised the day after the Individual World Championships. • The teams comprise one male pentathlete and one female pentathlete from the same nation. • Qualification is based on the results from the respective Individual World Championships.

  41. World Championships Relay With 2 athletes I presented this proposal in Lausanne Executive Board Meeting in 2005 as well in 2006 Kyoto Congress. The idea was to have a chance to have one/two more medals to the Olympic Games. We know that IOC doesn’t want to increase the number of athletes that take part to the Games. The idea is to organise a relay competition with team of only two athletes’: Two man, or two women or why not, a team composed with one man one woman. The athletes will be the same that took part to the Olympic individual competitions. If we observe the list of participants by nations in Beijing Olympic Games, we had: 14 nation s that qualified two men, 13 nations that qualified 2 women, and 17 nations that qualified one man and one woman Perfect for The Olympics

  42. World Championships Relay With 2 athletes If we wish to have a chance to have relay at the Olympic games it is time to start to organise Continental, Regional championships and World Championships with this formula to add one more medals, the mist relay with one man and one women, from the next season competition Another strong reason to support this proposal is to give to the Nations that have no 3 strong athletes in each gender to have a chance to compete in a world and continental championships relay and why not to have a chance of medal

  43. World Championships Relay With 2 athletes • The easy and simply rules • Maximum team admitted 20 on the basis of the individual men and women results • Fencing men versus men, women versus women at 2 touches for each gender • Swimming relay 2X100 order of star between men and women free • Riding with 2 horses on the 2X350 course with 9 obstacles • Combined event handicap start 20 mt run • 5 target down 1000m run, • 5 target down ,1000 run • for each team member.

  44. World Cup competition • World Cup competitions are organised over three days following the one-day format, one each for the qualifications and for the Final with a day of rest in between. • The Final is organised with 36 pentathletes. • World Cup competitions are valid for individual placing only.

  45. World Cup competition • For World Cup competitions, the LOC is obliged to invite the first 10 men/women of the previous World Championship and Word Cup Final to participate and guarantee one place for each NF per gender. • Invitations must be sent at least 90 days before the competition.

  46. World Cup competition • Every NF has the right to participate with 1 pentathlete per World Cup competition. In exceptional circumstances, the maximum number can be 4 pentathletes per nation. • However, in World Cup competitions that are also Qualification Competitions for the Olympic Games, the maximum number allowed is 3 pentathletes per nation. • The host NF is allowed to participate with a maximum of 12 pentathletes except in World Cup competitions that are also Qualification Competitions for Olympic Games when the maximum is 4 pentathletes. • All startingpentathletes can participate in the Final part of the World Cup Competition. The minimum point requirements are: • 4700 points men • 4000 points women • If there are free places, other pentathletes canbe invited.

  47. World Cup standings • The World Cup Standing List is published after each World Cup and is established by using the PWR points only from World Cup competitions. All competitors at each World Cup competition will be allocated points according to the competitors’ placing. • The points table for the World Cup is the same as for the PWR. • In order to be qualified for the World Cup Final the qualification of the best 32 pentathletes is calculated adding the three best results of the World Cup competitions. • The last world champion and two athletes from the organizing country close the 36 finalist place

  48. Champion of Champions 1.13.7 • 18 pentathletes per gender are invited by UIPM to compete in the Champion of Champions competition and they are as follows: • * the 6 Continental Champions, • * the 3 medallists from the current year’s World Senior Championships, • * the top 3 pentathletes from the current year’s World Cup Final, • * the current Olympic Champion, • * all the Senior World Champions of the Olympic period, • * the current World Junior Champion, • * 1 or 2 pentathletes from host nation if not already qualified • If it is still necessary to reach the quota of 18 pentathletes, the best pentathletes from the PWR list dated 30 days before the competition will be invited.

  49. World Championships for Youth A are organised over four days. The Individual competition will be followed by a day of rest with the Relay competition taking place on the fourth day. Entry Form C must be completed with the pentathletes’ swimming times. The order of events for the Individual competition depends on the total number of pentathletes in each gender group:

  50. World Championships for Youth A 1.10.4 • If the total number of pentathletes in each gender group exceeds 51 the pentathletes will be divided into groups for the fencing competition (not more than two pentathletes from the same nation in the same group). The competition can be organised over one or two days depending on the organisers’ venues. Example: • Day 1: Fencing Men and Swimming Men/Women • Day 2: Fencing Women and Combined Event Men/Women • Day 3: Education & Cultural Day • Day 4: Relay men/women with 3 athletes + Mix relay with 1 athlete per gender
