Pentathlon at the 2012 Olympics Alternative Accommodation

Pentathlon held at Olympic Park Venue Affordable Holiday Accommodation outside london for Olympic Visitors

Modern Pentathlon was championed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, and has its origins in a 19th-century legend. The story goes that a young French cavalry officer was sent on horseback to deliver a message. To complete his mission, he had to ride, fence, shoot, swim and run – the five challenges that face competitors in Modern Pentathlon today.
