Europe’s top modern pentathletes will be battling it out for Olympic selection for Rio 2016 when the University of Bath hosts the Modern Pentathlon European Championships 2015 – the first major international Modern Pentathlon competition held in the UK since London 2012.
More than 100 top pentathletes from across Europe will compete at the Championships which will include Britain’s Samantha Murray, current World Champion and Olympic Silver medallist from London 2012, who will be seeking to secure her place for Rio.
This is a fantastic opportunity to see the five sports of Modern Pentathlon (swimming, fencing, riding, running and shooting) as athletes complete all of the events in one day. The final event, the combined run and shoot sees the gold medal awarded to the first athlete across the finish line.
The European Championships offers a great family day out with incredible live sporting action and an exciting atmosphere all taking place within a compact world class venue.
