Australia hold ‘Ultimate Fencing / Modern Pentathlon Camp’ in Melbourne

Over sixty (60) participants plus coaches from all Australian states as well as New Zealand are currently in Melbourne for a three weapon (25 epeeists) intensive camp for elite and sub elite athletes, a junior development camp plus specialist Laser shooting training using the equipment gifted by the UPM and Eko-Aims. 

The Victorian Modern Pentathlon 4 event Championships were held on last week and a Camp pentathlon gets underway tomorrow.

All participants enjoyed the variety offered by pentathlon and it was amazing how quickly many adapted to the shooting element. The New Zealand athletes returned home with a renewed enthusiasm and ideas as to how to crate a shooting range at their fencing clubs. A very successful camp that will be come an annual event on the Victorian calendar.
