Thank you for your Pentathlon stories: UIPM Secretary General’s message

What a response!

In this monthly message I want to thank everybody who rose to the challenge of writing a story about what Modern Pentathlon means to you.

The variety of contributions was truly impressive – we had everything from folk stories to real-life experiences and tributes to some of the icons of our sport. We even had a poem (I think it could also work as a rap!)

In November 2020 we will announce the winners of the competition and publish some of the stories on the UIPM website. I can’t wait to share them with you.

For now, once again a huge thanks to everyone young and old around the world who participated.
