Thepentathlon ativities for the classic ones are of pentathlon. The first was the classic pentathlo, an athletics competition which was a variation on the Ancient Olympic pentathlon, comprising the long jump, javelin throw, 200 metres, discus throw, and a 1500 metres race. The other one (the more popular one)is the modern pentathlon and the events are épée fencing, pistol shooting, freestyle swimming, show jumping on horseback, and a cross country run.

At any rifle range or if your land is big enough, depending where you live. If you have a couple of acres of land in your back yard then you can set up a target and shoot. I wouldn't recommend hunting with a .22, but you can have fun and try, ust make sure it's legal in your state.

Men and women began competing in 10 meter air rifle competition at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

shooting has been an Olympic sport since 1896. except 1904 & 1928 first remember that shooting is a sport practiced all over the world, and it has been for centuries. the shooting events this year are diverse. there will be air rifle events as well as conventional firearms. bare in mind however, all or most of the firearms are in the .22 LR or 12 GA. 8-7 1/2 shoot shells. the targets will be bulls-eyes and clay targets. the shooting sport is just that a sport they will not be shooting at man shaped targets. the Olympics was originally a contest of military skills. (even in ancient Greece) unlike ancient Greece or war, the contestants in the modern games walk away. look at the track and field events: the lance (projectile) the pole vault (jumping over walls or defensive obstacles) the discus (projectile) the 100-1500m dash (charge! or retreat!) the marathon (battlefield mesager) there is also the other events with military implications: equestian, rowing, canoeing, judo, taekwondo, wrestling, archery, fencing, boxing but there are modern sports as well. the purpose of the games is to bring the world together on a field for peaceful competition. In no other place or time for the next four years will the USA will be able to compete with North Korea in many of the events. I know that firearms are frowned upon in many countries but i much prefer a peaceful contest of arms to testing there skills on the field of war.

The biathlon

Impossible to answer without a detailed description of condition.

French nobleman Baron Pierre de Coubertin orchestrated the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens, Greece. It began with nine competitive sports, including shooting. A former French pistol champion, de Coubertin supported the inclusion of four pistol and two high-power rifle events on the Olympic program.

Shooting events have been a part of all the Olympic Games except the 1904 Games in St. Louis, Missouri, and the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam. Individual and team events were fired until 1948, when team contests were eliminated by the Union Internationale de Tiro (UIT).

The number of Olympic shooting events has ranged from a low of two at the 1932 Los Angeles to a high of 21 events in Atwerp in 1920. Beginning in 2008 at the Beijing Olympic Games, the Olympic program now includes 15 events: six for women and nine for men. The athletes are divided into shotgun, rifle and pistol disciplines.
