Modern Pentathlon Enters New Era After Being Included Into LA28: UIPM

Los Angeles Olympic Games:  The Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) announced a new era for modern pentathlon after the 141st International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session approved the IOC Executive Board (EB)'s proposal to include modern pentathlon in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

"The vote means modern pentathlon will continue its run of featuring at every Summer Olympic Games since it was introduced by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, at Stockholm 1912," read a UIPM statement as quoted by Xinhua News Agency.

Obstacle racing will replace horse riding at LA28, a change that dissuaded the IOC EB from removing modern pentathlon from the Olympic disciplines.
