UIPM 2016 World Championships – Men`s Qualification

After a long and arduous qualifying process, the world’s leading Modern Pentathletes are about to reach their destination on the Road to Rio.

Today at the UIPM World Championships 96 athletes from 34 countries took part in qualification for the Men’s Individual Final, which takes place on Saturday.

There were 36 places in the Final at stake and with many still striving to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, there was maximum motivation and commitment at Moscow’s Olympic Stadium.

Three automatic Olympic qualifying places will be available when the men return on Saturday to see who will be the new World Champion. Or, can Pavlo Tymoshchenko (UKR) do the double?
