What to know about modern pentathlon at the 2024 Paris Olympics

The sport of modern pentathlon was dominated by Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics. In the women’s event, Kate French reigned supreme, securing Great Britain’s first modern pentathlon Olympic medal since the London Games. In the men’s event, Joe Choong won gold, setting an Olympic record in the process.

But threats to that British supremacy are abound. In Paris, Italians Elena Micheli and Alice Sotero, the reigning European Games champion and world runner-up, both could be poised to land on the podium in the women's event. Egyptians Ahmed El-Gendy, Mohamed El-Gendy and Mohanad Shaban are all top medal contenders on the men's side, along with Mexico's Emiliano Hernandez, the 2023 world silver medalist.

Additionally in Paris, as the sport aims to boost its popularity, the semifinal and final will both be condensed into 90-minute competitions with a new order of events.

The semifinals and finals, which will be hosted at the legendary Palace of Versailles, will feature the following run of show:

  • 35 minutes of equestrian (showjumping)
  • 5-minute break
  • 20 minutes of fencing (épee) - bonus round
  • 10-minute break
  • 15 minutes of swimming (200m freestyle)
  • 15-minute break
  • 20-minute combined event (laser run: a discipline that involves cross country running and laser pistol shooting in many sequences)

Modern pentathlon, which debuted at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, is looking to make the sport more fluid, so that fans can understand it, according to Klaus Schormann, Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) president.

"Our new Modern Pentathlon format is strongly aligned with these two principles: it will dramatically improve the experience for fans and viewers, while maintaining the essence of the sport," Schormann wrote on the UIPM’s website.
