              3. Sport
                1. Modern Penthatlon
                  1. What do you do in this sport?
                    1. The modern pentathlon is an Olympic sport that comprises five very different events: fencing, 200m freestyle swimming, show jumping, and a final combined event of pistol shooting and a 3200m cross-country run.
                    2. Dangers?
                      1. Swimming is pretty safe, as is running. The shooting is done with lasers, so there are not risks. Fencing with epees is going to leave some marks, but no real damage. The most dangerous sport in the modern pentathlon by far is the show jumping.
                      2. Why people like the sport?
                        1. Because there’s an ideal body type for swimming and that it’s different from the ideal body type for running, it’s in some ways extra entertaining to watch a sport that forces people to compete in different sports and rewards versatility.
