Modern Pentathlon
A Brief Overview:

Modern Pentathlon is a multi-sport Olympic event involving the five disciplines of swimming, running, shooting, fencing and riding. Scoring is based on a point system accumulated over the five events.

In every event there is a standard performance which is equated to 1,000 modern pentathlon points.

� Running - Open Men 4 km, if completed in 14 minutes 15 seconds earns 1,000 points. Plus or minus 3 points for every second.
� Swimming (Freestyle) - 300 km, if completed in 3 minutes 54 seconds earns 1,000 points. Plus or minus 4 points per half-second.
� Shooting - From a range of 10m, competitors take 20 shots at snap targets with a 4.5 calibre air pistol. 172 target points = 1000 pentathlon points, +/-12 pentathlon points per target.
� Fencing - Competition is for one hit within two minutes. The weapon used is called the epee. Participants fence every competitor, with a 70% winning ratio gaining a score of 1,000 points.
� Riding - Consists of a stadium course of 350 m, arranged around 12 obstacles in one minute = 1100. The riders must complete the course in a time of 1 minute 43 seconds to garner 1,100 modern pentathlon points.
