The modern pentathlon is a multi-sport event that consists of five disciplines: Fencing, freestyle swimming, equestrian show jumping, and a combined event of pistol shooting and cross-country running. It was introduced in the 1912 Olympics and was designed to test the versatility and endurance of athletes, reflecting the skills required by a soldier. Competitors earn points in each discipline, with the overall winner determined by their total score. The event has evolved over time, with changes to the format and disciplines to enhance viewer engagement and athlete performance.
