INTRODUCTION
This mobility emerged in ancient Greece in
708 B.C. having Lampis from Sparta as it’s first champion. It was the most
moble form of the ancient olympics games.
This
sport is practiced by men and women or in teams.
Modern pentathlon consists for five
different modalitys: swimming, fencing, riding, running and shooting. Each
discipline is held separately, apart from the running and shooting, which are
held together in a challenging and exciting combined event.
Competitors gain modern pentathlon points
across each discipline, resulting in a handicapped start for the combined
event. The winner of the competition is simply the first person to cross the
finish line.
Modern pentathlon is the only Pentathlon GB
sport to be competed at the Olympics.
HISTORY IN BRAZIL
The origin of the modern pentathlon is closely linked to militarism. In
ancient Greece, the Spartans used the method to select the most complete and
versatile soldiers. Inserted by the Greeks in the ancient Games, the sport had
a prominent role in the dispute, as the winner of the pentathlon was considered
the winner.
Pentathlon
was introduced for the first time at the 18th Olympiad in 708 BC, probably by
the Spartans as a method of training soldiers. It consisted of running the
length of the stadium, jumping, throwing the spear, throwing the discus and
wrestling. Pentathlon held a position of unique importance in the Games and was
considered to be the climax, with the winner ranked as "Victor Ludorum”.
OLYMPIC
MEDAL IN BRAZIL
The only Olympic medal in Brazil, Latin America and the Southern
Hemisphere in the modern pentathlon is a bronze won by Yane Marques the
olympics 2012 in London, UK, in the year that the sport has completed 100 years
of the Olympic program.
The categories today are: Youth E - 09 to 10 years (swimming and
running) / Young D - 11 to 12 years (swimming and running) / Young C - 13 to 14
years (swimming, shooting and running) / Young B - 15 to 16 years (swimming and
combined "shot + race") / Young a - 17 to 18 years (fencing, swimming
and combined) / Juniors - from 18 to 21 years (fencing, swimming, horse riding
and combined) / Adults over 22 years (Pentathlon) / Veterans over 30 years
(Tetratlo and Pentathlon). In the 2013 season, 120 athletes participated in
competitions, the highlight is the pentathlete Yane Marques, current Pan
American champion and bronze medalist in the Olympic Games London 2012. There
are only 3 state federations: in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Ceara.
CONCLUSION
In my opinion, Brazil don’t have much chance to win the Modern
pentathlon because here isn’t commom this kind of modality.
The most known and practiced here is the
swimming.
