With just 100 days to go to the men’s Olympic Modern Pentathlon competition on the 11th August, preparations are well advanced for a really successful event which will see the marking of 100 years since Baron Pierre de Coubertin introduced the Modern Pentathlon into the Olympic Games in 1912 in Stockholm.

The two Olympic Park venues (The Copperbox for fencing and the Aquatics Centre for the swimming) are ready and Greenwich Park is being transformed into a world class stadium – the image shows how the build is progressing with both east and west grandstands well underway and the riding platform between them being constructed.

Meanwhile, the fight for one of the 36 precious Olympic places enters its final stages of the year-long process. The World Championships in Rome on 7-13 May and the World Cup Final in Chendgu, China on 26-27 May represents the final opportunities for athletes to either gain the qualifying standard or improve their ranking place.

So, who will be standing on the podium at Greenwich Park in 100 days time? Follow all the build-up and the action on Pentathlon.org.
