Modern pentathlon is an Olympic sport where individuals compete in five separate events, with the winner having the most points out of all five events. The modern pentathlon begins with a fencing competition, where participants duel with blunt swords. Next is a 200 meter swimming competition, after which competitors use horses to jump over bars set at specific heights. The final two events are combined into one, with a pistol shooting competition, decided by accuracy, and a 3200 meter cross country race.
