He swam across a raging river and finally delivered the message on foot. The first Swedish Championships was held 1921. In the year 1948 the International Modern Pentathlon Union (

Extractions: MODERN PENTATHLON REPORT Back to NEWS Monday, October 2 Cook seeking wider horizons for pentathlon From David Powell in Sydney Steph Cook, who became the first womens Olympic champion of her sport here yesterday, will seek to add the second most important title to her laurels next July when the world championships are staged at Millfield, close to the high performance centre in Bath where she prepared for the Games. Kate Allenby, the bronze medal-winner, will join Cook in an attempt to position Britain indisputably as the leading womens nation. In the three years since Cook began to compete internationally, she has accumulated an impressive collection of gold, silver and bronze medals from world team and team relay championships. Small wonder that Allenby, who helped to campaign for women modern pentathletes to be admitted to the Olympics 88 years after the men were added to the programme, is now calling for a team event to be put on the schedule for Athens in 2004. The Olympic programme covered individual events only, whereas world championships incorporate team and team relay events. The world championships are in Britain next year, so we have something to prove, Allenby said. We want to see a team event in the next Olympics because we have five girls in the top 20 in the world at the moment. Based on rankings, Georgina Harland was worth one of the 24 places in the womens Olympic field here, but each country was restricted to two competitors. However, Harland was brought here for experience and as a training partner for Cook and Allenby.

Extractions: MODERN PENTATHLON REPORT Back to NEWS Sunday, October 1 Cook finds recipe for success From David Powell in Sydney There is no set menu for the breakfast of champions. When Steph Cook joined Audley Harrison for the first meal of the day at 5.15 here this morning, she had muesli and bananas, he had a fry-up. But their evening drink was the same. Champagne. Three years after interrupting her career as a doctor to train full-time for a sport at which she was still a novice, Cook succeeded where Britains men had failed since modern pentathlon was admitted into the Olympics in 1912. The first Briton to win an individual gold medal, Cook also goes down as the inaugural womens Olympic champion. Nobody aware of Cooks strengths was surprised that she came through from eighth place after four events to win on the final discipline, the run. A former England cross country international, she said beforehand that she had a bit of a reputation as a runner. She has even more of one now. Since Jim Fox led Britain to team gold in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, modern pentathlon has existed on the fringes of British sport. Those within it, though, have become increasingly aware of Cooks strengths as a runner and now the whole world knows about it. At the world championships in Pesaro, Italy, in June, Cook pulled up from 25th to ninth on the run. In July, at the European championships in Székesfehévár, Hungary, she raced through from fourteenth place to take the silver. In Mexico City in March, she achieved her first World Cup victory after setting of on the 3,000 metres in fourth place.

Extractions: 30 September-1 October 2000 Originally modern pentathlon was a five-day event, but this format was not conducive to spectator or media interest. In an attempt to lift the disciplines public appeal, a one-day format was scheduled for the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. This format continued in Sydney, where athletes and spectators moved across three different venues throughout the day. Modern pentathlon is now a frenzied event where, during one long day of competition, athletes must fire 20 shots at a target with an air pistol, fence with an épée sword, swim 200 m, negotiate a show jumping course on a horse drawn for them at random and finally, when nearly exhausted, run a 3000 m cross-country course. The fencing and riding components are considered to be the most important for success as the head-to-head fencing duels and the randomly selected horses present the best opportunities for substantial gains - or losses - in points. Standings in the competition tend to fluctuate dramatically from one event to the next and the winner often comes from the back to the front in the final running leg. Forty-eight athletes competed in Sydney, 24 men and 24 women, making it the smallest, in terms of number of participants, of any Olympic sport.
