Modern pentathlon at the Olympics

Modern pentathlon, invented by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, was first contested at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. The competition used a lost points system where athletes lost points equal to their position in each event—1 point for first place, 2 points for second, and so on. Final rankings were determined by adding lost points, with the lowest total indicating the winner. This unique scoring emphasized consistency across multiple disciplines, reflecting the sport’s origin in testing an athlete’s all-around skills.
