Modern pentathlon

Reinvigorated by the arrival of the obstacle, Modern pentathlon looks to the future with confidence and appetiteThe World Championships, held in Kaunas, have " exceeded all expectations " repeats UIPM President Rob Stull, on the organization's websiteThe reforms undertaken have also caught the eye of Brisbane 2032. Even though the Games of the XXXV Olympiad are still seven years away and the program has not yet been finalized, the organizing committee of Brisbane 2032 is already in contact with us, the American rejoices. Over the past few weeks, we have had preliminary discussions with the organizing team about venues and formats. »

A pledge of confidence that the UIPM does not squander. The fact that Brisbane is engaging with us at such an early stage is a very good sign for the organizational quality of these Games, Stull insists. It also reflects the growing recognition that The pentathlon has something unique to offer the Games : a multidisciplinary sport that reaches young people, highlights innovation and adapts to different environments while keeping its essence – and Coubertin's original vision – intact. »

« The lesson from Kaunas is that when we present our sport in the best possible light, people pay attention. We now have proof that modern pentathlon can not only capture the public's imagination, but also inspire confidence in Olympic decision-makers. Looking ahead, our mission is simple: continue to raise the bar, improve our product, innovate, and show the world why the pentathlon is at the heart of the Olympic Games " concludes the president.
