Modern Pentathlon At The 1980 Summer Olympics




The Modern Pentathlon at the 1980 Summer Olympics was represented by two events (both for men): ''Individual competition'' and ''Team competition''. As usual in Olympic Modern Pentathlon, one competition was held and each competitor's score was included to the ''Individual competition'' event results table and was also added to his teammates' scores to be included to the ''Team competition'' event results table. This competition consisted of 5 disciplines, which were held in 4 venues:
  • ''Equestrian'', held on July 20 at the ''Trade Unions Equestrian Centre'', situated in the ''Bitsa forest park'' (southern part of Moscow )

  • ''Fencing'', held on July 21 at the ''Sports Palace of the Central Sports Club of the Army'' (south-western part of Moscow )
