Modern pentathletes fence using an epee, which is a sharp-pointed duelling sword with its end blunted. The target area is the entire body from head to toe.
Pentathletes swim 200, 100, or 50 metres depending on their age. Freestyle or front crawl is the stroke of choice because it is the fastest.
The discipline requires a variety of obstacles to be cleared, involving both upper and lower limbs in pursuit of optimum performance.
The finale of the pentathlon is the combined run and shoot event. Competitors alternate between shooting at targets with laser pistols and 800 metre runs.
