Competition format

edit

The modern pentathlon consisted of five events. The competition used a point-for-place system, with the lowest total across the five events winning.[2]

  • Riding: a show jumping competition. The course was 5000 m long, with a time limit of 10 minutes, 32 seconds. Riders started with 100 points and could lose points either through obstacle faults or going over the time limit. Negative scores were possible. Ties were broken by the specific time taken, with the quicker rider winning.
  • Fencing: a round-robin, one-touch épée competition. Score was based on number of bouts won, with double-touches used as a tie-breaker.
  • Shooting: a rapid fire pistol competition, with 20 shots (each scoring up to 10 points) per competitor.
  • Swimming: a 300 m freestyle swimming competition.
  • Running: a 4 km race.
