Sports Olympics Olympic Events Modern Pentathlon First Olympic Appearance: 1912 (men); 2000 (women) by Mike Morrison THE MODERN pentathlon is made up of five individual sports - shooting fencing swimming horse show jumping , and running . Sounds like a pretty weird combination, huh? Did You Know? American George Patton (yes, that George Patton) was a strong challenger for the modern pentathlon gold in 1912 but faltered in the shooting competition. As the story goes, a young French officer in Napoleon's army was sent on an unfamiliar horse to deliver a message into hostile territory. He was first greeted by an enemy soldier with his sword drawn. The two dueled . The French officer won the battle and continued on his horse until it was shot out from under him. He fired a shot with his pistol and killed the enemy but his horse didn't make it. He swam across a river and ran the rest of the way to deliver his message. When he arrived, his commanding officer greeted him with, "What took you?" The modern pentathlon used to be drawn out over anywhere from four to six days. Beginning with the Atlanta games in

OTHER SPORTS NEWS Prospects look good to keep baseball, softball, modern penathlon in Olympics By STEPHEN WILSON, Associated Press MEXICO CITY (November 23, 2002 1:21 p.m. EST) - It's been 66 years since a sport was eliminated from the Olympics. Don't expect any changes when Olympic leaders meet starting Monday to consider dropping three sports at once. Three months after baseball, softball and modern pentathlon were proposed for exclusion after the 2004 Athens Games, it looks increasingly unlikely that the International Olympic Committee will vote them out. There might not even be a vote when the IOC meets through Friday in Mexico City. A combination of factors - legal and technical complaints about the voting process, a successful lobbying campaign by the endangered federations and a lack of enthusiasm for change - appears to have ensured the sports' Olympic survival. For now, at least. "I think they will be able to save their skin," said Denis Oswald, a member of the IOC executive board and head of the association representing all summer Olympic sports. IOC president Jacques Rogge said all options are open, including scrapping the vote, postponing it until next year or changing the proposal to apply to the 2012 Olympics instead of 2008.

The pentathletes will be watching closely.
