At the Olympic Games in 2024, the modern pentathlon will probably not take place in the usual competitions.
The reason is probably the scandal surrounding Annika Scheu.
Munich - It was one of the exciters at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo!
Annika Schleu had to bury her gold dream in the modern pentathlon when her drawn horse "Saint Boy" had shied away from the equestrian discipline and no longer wanted to ride.
Schleu burst into tears.
Her trainer then asked her to hit the animal.
Then there were serious allegations of cruelty to animals.
Olympia: After a scandal by Germans!
Modern pentathlon association draws blatant consequences
Now the umbrella organization of modern pentathletes (UIPM) has apparently reacted and taken riding out of the program.
As
insidethegames.biz
reports, this decision was made after a vote.
However, this report has not yet been confirmed by the UIPM.
The modern pentathlon currently consists of riding, swimming, fencing and a combined running and shooting competition.
