response: Ancient Greece was home to the first pentathlon that was documented, so yes, it is quite an old event
history: Have you ever competed in Track and Field? No, have you ever competed, maybe in the 5-event pentathlon? What are the events? I compete in the Highland Games I think some are similar. I don't know what the events are, but pentathletes would get some of their training from the military, and the events were skills that were considered useful for war. O not what I thought. My competitions are all strength based. Is this an old event?
knowledge: The first pentathlon was documented in Ancient Greece and was part of the Ancient Olympic Games.
