Pentathlon Ireland welcomes the confirmation that the sport of Modern Pentathlon will be included in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. The new format, which includes Obstacle Racing, is exciting and creates greater opportunities for young people. It also open ups a whole new athlete pool for Pentathlon Ireland. We have already embraced the new Obstacle division by installing an obstacle training rig in the Pentathlon Centre and engaging the services of obstacle coach, Scott Phillips. There is lots more to do and we look forward to continuing to work and engage with our members, and other stakeholders as we work towards the Los Angeles Olympics.
