Monzanator 3,593 Posted January 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I mean if you get rid of fencing then modern pentathlon IS triathlon. This is some crazy joke. Let's don't waste time on this laser shooting thing because it's a total blip on the radar at this stage. I'm amazed IOC hasn't killed this sport off yet to make room for more break dancing events.

Let's don't waste time on this laser shooting thing because it's a total blip on the radar at this stage. I'm amazed IOC hasn't killed this sport off yet to make room for more break dancing events. To be fair, if they need to kick out a sport, it wouldn't be unfair to have modern pentathlon be the one on the chopping block. Not saying it should go, but gun to the head to choose one sport, I'd go with that one, probably. Well, breakdancing, but I mean in terms of sports which have already been Olympic instead of sports which will make their debut soon If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

thepharoah 2,284 Posted January 9, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2023 tbh Fencing is the most boring sport in MP , it's way boring than equestrian which they have get rid of , but it's a core thing of this sport so let's wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Liu 1,588 Posted January 9, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Without fencing, It would be de facto a running event. With fencing, it's an event combining fencing and running. And it used to be an event combining fencing, running and luck. Edited January 9, 2023 by Vic Liu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biathlonfan 358 Posted January 9, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Horse Activists ruined my once favorite sport,the federation Overeacted to quite frankly a nothing burger[no one will convince me that Saint boy was in anyway traumatised or hurt,and certainly not by raisners[the german coach] love tap] to please people who never watched the sport anyway,i hope Schormann is gone very soon,so yes i'm team pentathlon united all the way.

Laser shooting has been there since 2011 as part of the whole thing,i think you mean the ridicoulous obstacle course crap,that is to replace riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
