Laser Run. Swimming The swimming event is a freestyle race over m with athletes seeded in heats according to their personal best time.
A time of earns Pentathlon points Every 0. Penalties: Forty point penalties are incurred for: a false start failing to touch the wall at the end of a lap, or leaving the pool in an incorrect manner as stipulated in the rules.
Equestrian — show jumping The riding event equestrian show jumping included in the Modern Pentathlon competition involves jumping over obstacles of up to cm in height. The obstacle course is Between m in length Includes 12 obstacles with one double and one triple, for 15 jumps Athletes compete on horses provided by the organisers, which are selected from a random draw.
Laser Run — running and shooting In , the UIPM Congress passed a motion to change the competition format of the Modern Pentathlon to combine the shooting and running disciplines. Talk with someone from Modern Pentathlon today! Each second faster or slower is worth four points. Athletes start the race at intervals based on the standings after the first four events, and the first person to finish wins. For more information on the Olympic Modern Pentathlon visit nbcolympics.

These findings corroborate research that shows that in the heptathlon, performance in speed events is overwhelmingly the biggest determinant in predicting overall success, dwarfing the importance of the strength and endurance events.
John Barrow, a professor of mathematical sciences in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, has proposed a physics-based system akin to the flawed model, but this time getting the science correct by using proportions based on kinetic energy.
Another method, proposed by Wim Westera, a professor of digital media at the Open University of the Netherlands with a background in physics and math, attempts to construct a points model based on the frequency of performances. Also, researchers at Saarland University and the University of Kaiserslautern suggest a system based on standard deviations.
Perhaps another way to tweak the system would be to award outlier performances even more generously. As of now, most competitors earn roughly , points per event across the board. But a highly progressive system would create larger disparities in where an athlete derives his or her points. Faster athletes would focus on the running cluster of events and rack up the majority of their points there, while stronger athletes could aim to take the throwing path to gold.
Of course, none of these alternative scoring systems tackle the largest factor determining scores: the events themselves. The fact that the sprinting events and long jump so well correlate with each other puts a large premium on athletes who can reach top speeds. Another way of adjusting for this imbalance is possibly removing a speed-based event from the decathlon to make the enneathlon. Scoring — The swimming times are translated into Pentathlon points. A time of 2m 30s equates to 1, Pentathlon points.
Ride: 12 Show Jumps on an unknown horse Pentathletes ride unfamiliar horses over a mm course that features 12 show jumps. Scoring — Competitors start with a maximum score of Pentathlon points and lose 40 points for each error; knock downs, refusals, falls or horse disobedience. The round is timed and each second over the optimum time detracts 4 points from the athletes score. Combined event of Run and Shoot Pentathletes begin this event in a handicapped start determined by the number of points that they have accrued after the fence, swim and ride with the leader setting off first.
Athletes run to the range and have to hit five targets with laser pistols in a maximum of 50seconds. They then run an m loop back to the range. This is repeated three more times before crossing the finish line. Scoring — 2, points are awarded to an athlete who completes the combined event in 13m 20secs.
Athletes score plus or minus 4 points for each second faster or slower than this time. This website uses cookies so that we can provide you with the best user experience possible.
