UIPM Family

The Modern Pentathlon movement in Asia continues to develop with athletes and officials making progress within a regional and global context throughout 2022.

The latest sign of progress was the election of Dr Mahdi Goudarzi, President of the Iran Pentathlon Association, as an Executive Board Member of the National Olympic Committee of Iran.

President Dr Goudarzi, who took over the leadership of the Iran Pentathlon Association in 2021, is also President of the Iran Triathlon Association and has been elected to the Executive Board of his NOC on a four-year term. 

Asia has been a key growth region and area of focus for UIPM Sports in recent years, and earlier this year Iran celebrated a watershed moment with the staging of the country’s first ever National Biathle Championships in the capital city, Tehran.

There is further hope for the development of the sport there, particularly among women and children with President Dr Goudarzi’s NOC election another positive sign.
