How are they going to complete the fencing or showjumping in such a short amount of time?

Apparently there will be heats of 12 athletes each, and then the final with 12 as well. Each heat taking 90 mins.

Final will have 18 athletes according to the UIPM.

Huh. That would make it impossible to hold equestrian within 20 minutes.

I was thinking of something more like the mêlée at a medieval tourney.

 

Jousting could be adopted as Modern Pentathlon's equivalent of three man basketball.

I am still not sure how this actually works and that's mostly because they still haven't released an official document detailing everything about this format. Or am I missing something, and there's a pdf like that online? I mean, seriously, is the format still not 100% finalized or why are they so damn vague about how this new format works?

ladies and gentlemen this's the very Modern Pentathlon for u :d

Is this another one of those things where some federation thinks that people who find a sport uninteresting, will suddenly watch said sport when it gets shorter? :d 

 

And also, surely they're not throwing around the whole format of the sport literally one and a half months before the Olympics and this is for after that? :yikes:

UIPM are challenging cricket. Now cricket has to make a 30 minutes long version to assert dominance.

don't give them ideas...otherwise they would try and establish some super-Over competitions as well for real...:facepalm:

 

by the way, they held a competition a few weeks ago with the new format...and if I remember well, it was something like 3 heats of 12 athletes each, top 3 from each heat and 3 best scores overall among the others advancing to the final...

and it was a 12-athlete final...

it is...competitions with 36 athletes (and the Olympics are 36-man/woman tournaments) have the 3 semis with 12 participants and 12 finalists...

 

that's inked...
