modern pentathlon is the best sport. they took 5 vaguely boring sports and gave them the most chaotic energy.
oh you think fencing is boring? what about a one-minute timer and a best of 1 format?
congrats, you get to be normal for swimming, see ya tomorrow
oh you think show jumping is hard? we’re giving you a random horse 20 minutes before your run!
oh you get bored during 3000m runs? well then SHOOT A TARGET WITH A GUN EVERY 600 METERS (winter sports friends, yes, this is summer biathlon)
also I absolutely love that they’re getting points for everything and the 3000m is a pursuit with a handicap. means the first person to cross the line has won the competition, which is great.
👍
