Moderne :

• Modern Pentathlon is UIPM’s flagship sport and offers the ultimate test of

an athlete’s fitness, courage and skill. Combining five traditional disciplines

in a one day competition, Modern Pentathlon has been a core sport at

the Olympic Games since 1912.

• The UIPM organizes an annual World Championship for senior, junior

and youth athletes, as well as a World Cup Series that consists of four events

culminating in a World Cup Final.

• Every four years, the ultimate test: The Olympic Games.

What is Biathle ?

▷ UIPM Biathle is a sub-sport of Modern Pentathlon invented to

create opportunities to train Running and Swimming parts of

Pentathlon in real race conditions.

▷ It can also be seen as a sport in its own right. It bears close

resemblance to aquathlon which also contains Swimming and

Running but comes from triathlon sport. It should not be

confused with biathlon.

▷ Biathle is an event that involves the following sequence Run-

Swim-Run. It is a world class sport but not an Olympic one.

The legs are raced with continuous transitions like triathlon.

The race length is usually 200 m swim and 3.2 km run, which

is shorter than aquathlon.

What is UIPM World Tour?

▷ The UIPM World Tour is a fun and simple way to organize event which helps

National Federations increase their membership numbers and also to identify

talent and recruit the right type of athletes for international events.

▷ It is also a great opportunity to expose thousands of youngsters to UIPM Modern

Pentathlon with a scoring system which attempts to balance the performances in

different sports. It is a system of competition which allows athletes worldwide to

compete against each other by having their national federations send the results

to UIPM who in turn compile and maintain the current World Standings.

▷ UIPM World Tour is also knows as ‘World School’ because it includes young

athletes.
