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...

    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.  
    • Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'.  Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so.  (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube.  https://tickets.la28.org/
