haha,seeing anyone be interested in seeing modern pentathlon is always fun for me.

Have to admit it wasn't my first choice but more of an effect of ticket packages and trip timing. When buying tickets in a pack there were restrictions to just one popular event so of the ones that were left Modern Pentathlon was the best value. 

Still excited, can't get a better venue then Versailles and the mix of fencing, swimming, and equestrian will make for a unique spectator experience. The men's marathon will also pass through Versailles while the pentathlon is underway so I might get a look at that as well.

Hello all!

I'm Book. A long time fan of the Olympics but only recently started lurking on this forum, looking for qualification updates. Thought I'd pop in and start talking now, seems like a fun crowd.

I'm from the US, born in Los Angeles and spent most of my life in Oregon, now living in Massachusetts. My first memories of sports was at a rec center built as part of a parks initiative of the 1984 games. After getting the Olympic bug in 2008 I convinced my parents to drive me up to Vancouver in 2010 where we stayed in Canada just long enough to see the first two heats of 2 man bobsleigh. I was luckily able to get some tickets to Football, Athletics, Rhythmic Gymnastics, and Modern Pentathlon for Paris, so my Olympic hype is at an all time high right now. Looking for some sport climbing tickets still.

On the forum I hope to be a resident expert on US Track and Field trials and LA 2028 planning, anything Olympics on the US west coast I'll chat to anyone about.
