Contents
Modern pentathlon contains five events; pistol shooting, épée fencing, 200-metre freestyle swimming, show jumping, and a 3.2-kilometre cross-country run. [2]
The first three events (fencing, swimming, and show jumping) are scored on a points system. Those points will then be converted into a time handicap for the final combined event (pistol shooting and cross-country running), with the points leader starting first and each other competitor having a delayed start based on how many points behind the leader they are. This results in the finish order of the run will be the final ranking for the event.
