Union Internationale de Pentathlon
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.
• Fencing, Swimming, Riding, Run and Shoot combined event.
• 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.
