MODERN PENTATHLON’S COMEBACK
While kabaddi makes its historic debut, the modern pentathlon will return to the SEA Games after a six-year break. This event tests athletes’ focus and adaptability in skills such as running, swimming and shooting a laser pistol.
At the Games, two Singaporeans will compete in the “laser run”, one of three categories featured.
In this event, athletes run five 600m laps on both hard and soft sand. In between each lap, they must hit a target with their pistol five times before attempting the next lap.
