Paris 2024 Summer Olympics and the Modern Pentathlon
The Paris Olympics are underway with more than 10,000 athletes participating in various events, including the modern pentathlon. This unique sport combines fencing, swimming, show jumping, running, and shooting. The event has historical significance dating back to the ancient Greek games and has evolved over time to reflect modern warfare skills. Changes in the sport, such as replacing show jumping with an obstacle course race, are on the horizon post-2024 Olympics.
