For this activity I had to research a sport from the Olympics that I have never heard of. We then had to write a short explanation of what the sport is and include the name of the sport, the aim of the sport and 2 rules for the sport. The sport I picked was modern pentathlon, some of the words looked familiar but I had no idea what the sport was. In this sport there are 5 activities included. The 5 activities are swimming, fencing, horse riding, and shooting and running. I found this sport really interesting because you get to dot lots of sports in one sport. This sport is played by both men and women. The rules for swimming in this sport is that competitors must race in heats over 200m in freestyle, earning points according to there time. The rules for horse riding is they compete in a show jumping competition trying to clear 12 obstacles over a 350 - 400m course before the race.
