Highlights from the final of the women's modern pentathlon as Laura Asadauskaite (Lithuania) wins gold, with Samantha Murray (Great Britain) winning silver and Yane Marques (Brazil) claiming bronze at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The modern pentathlon was introduced by Baron de Coubertin at the Stockholm Games in 1912, comprising pistol shooting, fencing, swimming, horse riding and running. It was his belief that this event would test "a man's moral qualities as much as his physical resources and skills, producing thereby a complete athlete."
From 1912 to 1980, the Olympic modern pentathlon was held over five days with one event per day. Now, the event is held over one day. Competitors score points in the first three events, which decide their starting position for the final combined event, composed of the shooting and running disciplines. The first one over the line wins the gold medal.

The hardest part of pentathlon is being wealthy enough to train for five different sports. Access to horses, shooting range, swimming pool, fencing equipment and specialized coaching will ensure that finding the best and most well rounded athlete will never happen.
Newt Tella too rights, pentathlon athletes all have commited rich parents
I mean most of the time the country will have an olympic training center where they give athletes a salary and have access to training facilities for everything necessary
Modern pentathlon is mostly a European sport for the rich. Won't spread worldwide.
@@PIANOPHUNGUY Maybe some Saudi princes might sign up just to say they're a world class athlete.
Facts!!!!
As an equestrian, I honestly hate the Horse Jumping part of this. What a pointless and Sad thing.
Me too
same
We, Brazilians, are so proud of Yane Marques. She's so determined and strong and had almost no official financial incentive to keep her training routines. That didn't stop her, thou', and that's why she's a real hero. Let's hope next time around she gets gold. We believe she has what it takes!
I did this sport, for three years, the hardest part Is running&shooting
imagine being an alien and seeing this, this does not represent us.
I’d replace the horse event with cycling.
Gonna be hard to jump those logs with a bike. Lol.
@@wheatontisoy8047 those riders are not very for that level at all
@@bellaequestrian3109 so incredibly true
Lol for a sec I read "I'd replace the horse event with crying "
@@aquagerk3646 she would have definitely won then 😂
I have no doubt that these athletes are well conditioned, but it is a pretty contrived sport. Drop wrestling? Really?
Oh my gosh it’s just so hard to watch seriously do you need to learn how to ride a horse before you like do that you probably don’t even know how to ride a horse
Mhm
Pentathlon is amazing and should NEVER be removed from the Olympics. I think they should add wrestling to Pentathlon as well.
Being able to be competitive in five different events is extremely difficult and shows a true well rounded athlete. Maybe all of you hating pentathlons should try to ride a horse or fence. It's very difficult to be good at all five.

I WISHD IM FINNISH PENTATHLON MAN
The Olympics has many pointless events this is one of them.
R.I.P. Modern pentahlon. Lived 112 years (1912-2024)
Baron de Coubertin rotates in his grave.
I'm so happy that this pisses off people like you, hope you enjoy watching cycling haha! Literally you are sad because you don't get to see animal abuse anymore?
The IOC voted wrestling back into the Olympics. There are several sports in the Olympics that probably shouldn't be there anymore - wrestling is not one of them.
Then I went on to swimming
I WOULD LOVE TO BE PENTATHLONIST
pentathlete you caveman
I WOULD LOVE TO HOBBIED PENTATHLON.... MY IDOL IS ASDAUSKAITE
Luara (^^)/
If you are a space alien who is watching this video from a generation ship, don't get any ideas - this is not part of the Hunger Games.
kodel Laura sneka rusiskai?
Gal but, tiems lengviau isversti? IMHO Na ir vyras yra rusas, visada galima popraktikuoti;-)
How do you even qualify for this, are there world championships of this?
yes
is this a thing??? weird
human race came up with this? really?
I WOULD LOVE TO HOBBIED PENTATHLON MEN
this is not a sport? wtf ?!?!?
robert gribschaw it is there are also decathlons hepathlons...
How modern is riding a horse? How about a bicycle instead?
It’s not what you think it is, as an equestrian myself there are plenty disciplines like jumping, dressage, eventing and some western in my opinion it’s more athletic and harder than bicycling (I’m not saying biking isn’t hard or athletic). Plenty of people have been doing it for ages and a lot of people today are still involved in the horse world. It’s much more modern than you may think.
Fully agree these people can’t ride very well at all it should be change d to cycling
because originally Pentathlon is a sport from 16th century for Cavalry troops. Changing that is like changing basketball ball with a tennis ball.
@@saltymonke3682 but none of the people here can ride well. U need to train for hours every day to get to Olympic level these people probably only train once a week
@@bellaequestrian3109 ye, being an all round athlete is the point of Pentathlon, if you underestimate at one aspect, you will fail. like the German or Brazilian female pentathlonist.
This horse sport is the world's useless sport.. Who watch that?!
You've obviously never ridden a horse
this should have dropped this trash "sport" instead of wrestling.
hurpdurpgaming why should they drop pentathlon? Lets drop decathlon and hepathlon aswell...
hurpdurpgaming they should drop ping pong...
