pentathlon

Five-sport competition. Pentathlon consists of former military training pursuits: swimming, fencing, running, horsemanship, and shooting. It has been an Olympic event for men since 1912, but the Sydney 2000 Games were the first Olympics to include a women's event. The first modern pentathlon world championships for men took place in 1949, and for women in 1981.
