JThe Olympics has been more than a week now, and if I remember correctly, they have not left a sea of tears. But at least one thing will have sequelae: long-term new coronavirus-possible.long Pentathlon – certainly. Do you remember: Ma Sheng boy, he refused to follow the German athlete Annika Schleu and therefore lost a medal considered safe (will it get a medal on its own?).

The rider burst into tears, and her coach suggested finally hitting with a whip. There is great excitement everywhere. Horrified animal rights activist. Shit storm. It is another question that has been asked for many years. What kind of sport is it?
Modern pentathlon. Fencing, swimming, running, shooting, horse riding. Now there is a question whether the horsemanship, which is transported by the organizer and drawn from the starters, should not be immediately replaced by another discipline. They said, why not ride a bicycle.
Just change sports equipment
good idea. Even if the World Modern Pentathlon Association is still reluctant, it is worth considering. Cycling is conducive to health, especially the health of horses. Therefore, in the planning stage, it is of course necessary to ensure that the bicycles will not be drawn again in accordance with the cherished tradition, and then except for high-end bicycles, children’s bicycles and cargo bicycles, they will be delivered by Deutsche Post. That would surely trigger violent protests again. You have to please everyone now. The key word is equal opportunity.
Changing sports equipment may be the easiest. The horses of the Tour de France, ultra-modern pentathlon racing. I like this idea very much, although I am not entirely sure whether the French can really make friends through this very innovative solution to the modern pentathlon problem.
But I bet that Saint Boy would rather trot on the donkey road with the Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar than to participate in fitness exercises with a lady (or a gentleman) on his back in an army that has long been surpassed by time and common sense.
Of course, it is also possible that the holy boy does not have much desire for any of them. Then the modern Pentathlon will have to think of another way. Now there are three years to do it. Until the Paris Olympics.
