Pentathletes are considered to be very skilled athletes and there training is generally part of Military services. That was Ancient Pentathlon.

The father of Modern Pentathlon Baron Pierre de Coubertin who invented  this modern Olympics with variations in Ancient Pentathlon, with competition over five track and field events – SHOOTING, SWIMMING, FENCING, EQUESTRIAN AND CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING.
