Over the years, writing up International Modern Pentathlon Union
events, I’ve noticed an odd thing. The official picture accompanying
reports tend to feature a line of officials in the foreground, often

Pentathlon United, the group formed to resist the proposed removal of

issued two ultimatums to the sport’s international governing body,
the International Modern Pentathlon Union.
