A five-day series of webinars arranged by the Modern Pentathlon Federation of India (MPFI) has helped more than 250 people to advance their UIPM Sports education during the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic.

More than 115 judges took part in India’s first National Judges Seminar, supported with advice and guidance from UIPM Headquarters, along with more than 150 athletes and coaches who participated in other sessions through the course of the week.

After an introduction to Modern Pentathlon on day one, the following days helped to educate the participants on Fencing, Swimming and Laser Run, before special sessions on the final day focusing on code of conduct (judges) and physiotherapy and sports psychology (athletes and coaches).
