I would say it is a very strongly photoshoped Ahmed. But he has different glasses and hairstyle.

Is the new format officially in place as the official format of modern pentathlon once the Summer Games is over? Or will it become the official format in 2022? Did they even clarify this?

I'm seeing rumours that the UIPM have voted to remove horse riding from the sport after 2024.

It's not confirmed yet but people had asked them to deny this and they haven't done so yet.

Crazy, all the people I talk to on another board who only ever watch MP at the Olympics love the show-jumping.  It’s fencing that is killing the sport as a spectacle.  Five or six hours of a round robin whose results can be over-turned in a single lap of the run-shoot. All the rest of the events can take place in a single place in a couple of hours of action.

by riding the horse in circles around the swimming pool, then shooting it down and running to the finish line.

Are they going to call it modern triathlon then?
