this's not the correct ranking , they just put points of each athlete 

They will sum the points after the fencing bonus round as yesterday, I guess

i think modern pentathlon should be replaced by a type of summer biathlon (running and shooting). After all these 2 events are the most crucial ones

And the bad news is that the world’s most beloved horse Saint Boy has been sensationally fired from the men’s show jumping round.

But I wanted him to be ridden by [insert modern pentathletes I want to lose].

It's called "laser run", it's under UIPM like pentathlon, but I doubt IOC would accept it as a discipline at the Olympic Games. It's not like the combined event of modern pentathlon is a huge success, it's nowhere near as entertaining as biathlon.

Produced a legendary Olympic moment, and not the good kind, for the German.

The one thing I don't understand about the new format is that this bonus round will stay in it when this is literally the most pointless round of any event at the Olympic Games.

It's more urban and youthful.

 

(I agree with you, the bonus round ads nothing other than the novelty of having some fencing outdoors)

She helped it happen by having a panic attack before everything even started.
