The modern pentathlon consisted of five events, with all five held in one day.^[1]

• Shooting: A 4.5 mm air pistol shooting (the athlete must hit 20 shots, one at each target). Score was based on the number of shots hitting at each target.
• Fencing: A round-robin, one-touch épée competition. Score was based on winning percentage.
• Swimming: A 200 m freestyle race. Score was based on time.
• Horse-riding: A show jumping competition. Score based on penalties for fallen bars, refusals, falls, and being over the time limit.
• Running: A 3 km run. Starts are staggered (based on points from first four events), so that the first to cross the finish line wins.
