Pentathlon Coach Audit
Posted on Tuesday, 22nd Jul 2014 by Eleanor Guest
Do you know coaches that work with Modern Pentathletes, coaching them in any of the individual disciplines of fencing, swimming, riding, shooting or running? We are aiming to put together a plan to develop, support and deploy coaches so that we can provide the best service possible to both them and the athletes that they train. If so, send the link to the audit below to them so that we can gain their valuable insight.
The aim of the audit is to understand the demographics, current qualifications, delivery levels, training needs and aspirations of the coaching workforce that currently supports the athletes and members of Pentathlon GB. In effect, we are carrying out an initial audit of everyone who is and has been involved in coaching the disciplines of Modern Pentathlon.
For information, the survey is not anonymous, but all completed surveys will be kept strictly confidential and any data generated publicly will be non-attributable to individual coaches. Answers may be given to the Pentathlon GB Development Team to enable them to follow up on specific queries. It takes around 5 – 8 minutes to complete and will be open until Friday 15 August. As a thank you for completing it, one lucky coach will receive £100 towards their next coaching qualification (subject to approval).

Monday, 21st Jul 2014 | 2014-07-21 | British Biathletes Dominate in Portugal | In a very suny Setubal in Portugal, a team of 86 athletes showed the rest of Europe what a force the Brits are in Biathle. The Parque Urbano de Albarquel hosted the European Biathle Championships for the second consecutive year and the GBR team grabbed a total of 32 medals, 14 gold, 12 silver and 6 bronze. The first final of the day, the Youth E girls set the benchmark for the remainder of the competition with Eve Jones, Poppy Clark and Madelaine Cooper taking first, second and third respectively. Kieron Mutch and Alex Painter then went on to take gold and silver in the boys race. The Youth D Races saw wins for Martine Scott and Luke van Oudtshoorn with Oliver Smart and Jack Goodman taking silver and bronze. There was also a 1 - 2 finish in the Youth C girls race courtesy of excellent perfomances from Eleanor Jones and Madelaine Deadman. Two more wins in the Youth B races were earned by Caitlin Woskia and Bradley Sutton with Harrson Yarnold finishing a close second. The Youths A races were dominated by Italy and Portugal but not to be outdone, Matthew Crew finished in a well earned second place and in the girls race second and third went to India Mellor and Phyllida Britton. Harry Lane ran a perfect race to take the win in the Junior mens category and Naomi Drakeford finished second in the Junior Ladies race. Rachel Jones also finished second in the Senior Ladies race. The Masters Races are always a source of medals for Great Britain and this year it was no different with wins for Emma Fisher (A), Barbara Holmes and Steve Luff (B) Mary Collett and John Hiil (C) and Peter Collett (D). James Greenwell and Mike Weed took silver and bronze in Masters A, Nicola Quinlan silver in the Masters B, Margaret Smith silver in Masters C and Kay Evans bronze in Masters A, Another very successful foray into Europe for the British team who now travel to Salford for the National Championships and consider the possibilty of selection for the World Championships in Guatemala..

Monday, 21st Jul 2014 | 2014-07-21 | Jon Austin to join Badminton England | Jon Austin, Pentathlon GB‘s CEO, is leaving to become the new Performance Director for Badminton England. Jon said it was a difficult decision to move on from Pentathlon GB but he could not resist the chance to return to a top performance role in a sport that has been such a significant part of his life. |

Saturday, 19th Jul 2014 | 2014-07-19 | Yth A European Championships Uppsala | Qualification 2 days of competition has just come to an end after dramatic time with rule changes (several times in one day) with team officials being called to be informed of what was happening. This afternoon was most annoying time for many coaches and athletes during the combined event with the target system being used as it was a training system with no overhead lights, no means of feedback and lasers failing to register hits (not just for the GB Team) Our lead girl going into the Gp B semi had her pistol not registering during the practise (actually authenticated as laser problem) so another laser provider loaned her a barrel with minutes to spare before the start of the race. No chance to zero or anything, fortunately Francesca Summers won Gp B with the luxury of almost jogging the final 800m. The nesx problem was for Georgia Pipes, 3 lights on her target 4 times and then nothing on each of reamining 2 shots - timed out each time. Georgia missed qualification spot by one place. Henry Choong put himself in challenging position after bad fence yesterday by winning the swim in 1.58 but was equal 36th overall for the final and lost the slot because the BLR athlete had best fence - the rule. Josh Miller again had problems with his target during warm up but the officiald said it was fine, Josh did his best but did not make a qualification place.Ben Pond had a good competition but just missed out. Naomi Craig battled all the way to take 11th place in her semi and William Ecccleston snatched the 12th position in his semi. Athletes that qualified for the final tomorrow are: Francesca Summers, Naomi Craig, Kerenza Bryson and William Eccleston

Sunday, 13th Jul 2014 | 2014-07-13 | 2014 European Championships 13 07 | Two years anniversary of the 2012 Centennial Olympic Modern Pentathlon competition knocks on the door. Lase technology has ben used for the first time in history of the sport in London and it is now firmly embedded in competition formats for all age groups from Youth B and older. Manufactures have been upgrading various elements of the targets and software to tackle reliability issues since. We have collectively learnt a great deal about how to live with laser if not in harmony at least in peace. We understand sunlight implications on feedback targets, perils of underpowered laser barrels, trickery of the operating software but most importantly we have much more confidence that the laser works. After having a brief conversations with the manufacturers presented in Szekesfehervar I’ve got feeling that as we approach 24 months mark from Rio Olympic Games and start of the 2016 Olympic Qualifications in 2015 the time to cease introducing of fundamental changes to the target systems and laser weaponry is upon us. Sport is desperate for stability to preserve investments to the laser equipment base made already, needs to refocus on further reliability enhancements-sophistication of existing laser technology in circulation keeping Rio Games in sight and promote entry level standard laser equipment to the grass roots of the sport worldwide. Disappointment does not express how the British Women felt finishing 4th in the team competition. We have to admit opposition has done better this time, no question. They gave away fewer points in the fencing and riding than us and when it came down to the combined-event shooting, contest was over. Positives come from improved performances in skill elements, two top ten individual finishes and the fact that British Women displayed strong physical form. I have enjoyed following Joe Choong in fencing watching his struggle in riding hoping he learned a significant amount of competition experience today. Nick Woodbridge looked indecisive throughout the fencing battling lack of confidence and specific conditioning resulting from limited training he managed meanwhile recovering from operation. Later he won swimming and riding disciplines demonstrating that once back in full form, potential is there. Joe Evans fought well finishing 13th in one of the most intensive European Championships I ever experienced. Joe went head to head with the top athletes in the sport and stood his ground. It should be encouraging for the rest of the Men’s Team and the Women’s Team in upcoming final preparations for the 2014 Senior World Championships in Warsaw, Poland, 1 – 9 September. |

Friday, 11th Jul 2014 | 2014-07-11 | 2014 European Championships 11 07 | World of Pentathlon we live in is a relatively small place. Hence the news fly fast so even break up with a boyfriend can make the headline news. Social media networking adds almost graphic dimension to the information flow prompting rumour mill fury and making our communication ambient holistic. No surprise re-appearing of Ganna Buriak, top Ukrainian athlete, in Russian National Team outfit features currently on the cards. Ganna competed in the Acapulco World Cup semi-finals for Ukraine this February. Some people may think that paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4 of the UIPM Chapter 4 Eligibility Rules applies and Ganna should not be allowed to change the three letters on the back of her kit from UKR to RUS in 2014. Honestly that does not bother me. She is a talented athlete surely capable to assess where and with whom she wants to secure her future. I don’t know the circumstances or reasons for such a life changing decision. What I question is that unless Ukrainian Federation has agreed to release her, international body for sport should not sanction the move. It must be difficult for coaches and many others with the Ukrainian Federation to see years of investment disappearing east bound leaving them in despair short of a medal potential. Mhairi Spence won seven out of twenty two fights in the semi-finals. That is something I would call the ‘fencing eclipse’. No matter what she tried to do worked. Nothing new in Pentathlon when expectations, anxiety or just a pure bad luck squashed in less than two hours join the forces on the day. Mhairi made it through to the Finals performing well in the rest of the competition earning another opportunity to demonstrate high technical – tactical standards in the fencing discipline. All four British women will compete tomorrow aiming to defend successfully the 2013 Team European Title. Are they up to the challenge? We will find out in less than 24 hours, keep fingers crossed. Nick Woodbridge is back after hip operation and annoyingly long rehabilitation. Through to the Finals in style will be supported by Joe Evans alias ‘The Road Runner’ looking in good form and Joe Choong, new man on the block making it to the Finals on his first Senior European appearance. Jamie Cooke is trying hard to come back after time demanding but successful conclusion of studies at the Bath Spa University earlier this year. It seems that despite all his efforts it will still take some time and patience before he can realistically think to repeat and improve on his top 2013 performances. Women’s Finals start tomorrow 9am Central European time here in Szekesfehervar, Hungary.

Sunday, 22nd Jun 2014 | 2014-06-22 | More Biathle Success In Austria | The third round of the Biathle World Tour was held in the Styrian town of Graz in Austria. This inaugural event was staged in the wonderful Eggenberg sports complex which, amongst all the other sporting facilities, boasted both and indoor and outdoor 50 metres swimming pool. The British Team consisted only of a small team of the older athletes and the event being held over the Austrian Bank holiday of Corpus Christi rather than a weekend, meant many could not have the necessary time off school or work. Athletes from Hungary, Czech Republic, Portugal and Germany joined GB and the Austrian hosts in all age categories from Youths F through to Masters. Great Britains involvement started with the Youths B races and both Elliot Laville and Elke Morgan took fine wins for GB. Bryony Martel and Hannah Parkinson repeated GB success by winning the Youths A and Junior races respectively. In the final category, the seniors Rachel Jones and Nicola Rowley completed a 1 – 2 to bring the teams medal tally to 5 Golds and one silver. GBR Team times Elliot Laville Youth B 9 minutes 41.7 seconds Elke Morgan Youth B 11 minutes 3.1 seconds Bryony Martel Youth A 14minutes 14.4 seconds Hannah Parkinson Junior 14 minutes 2.2 seconds Rachel Jones Senior 13 minutes 48.5 seconds Nicola Rowley Senior 14 minutes 56.2 seconds |

Sunday, 8th Jun 2014 | 2014-06-08 | British Biathletes dominate in Italy | A team of 33 Biathletes travelled to Marina di Pisa in Italy for the second round of the 2014 World Tour. Biathletes from Germany, Austria, Cyprus and Portugal as well as Great Britain and Italy raced for medals in 30 degrees of heat along the promenade of Piazza Sardegnia and the calm waters of the Tirrenian Sea. The team didn’t have to wait long for its first success with Youth F Jonty Manners-Bell winning the first race of the day. The second race brought more success with Poppy Clark and Charlotte Taylor taking gold and silver in the Youths E Girls Race and Will Connors carried on the team’s success with a win in the boys race. The Youth D Girls race provided a clean sweep for Britain with Estelle Depierre, Evie Green and Rachel Hatherall filling the top three places and Archie Williams won the Boys race. Another clean sweep of medals went the way of GBR in the Youth C Girls Race courtesy of Elisabeth Tolley, Isla Green and Emma Livingstone. The youth B race saw victories for Bradley Sutton and India Cooper with Olivia Lowe taking second place. In a hard fought Race with what seemed to be a long 200 metres swim, Gregan Clarkson showed the way home to the rest of the senior men by winning in emphatic fashion. Rachel Jones and Hannah Parkinson both took silver in the Senior and Junior Ladies Races. The Masters races are always successful for the GBR team and James Greenwell (Master A) showed a clean pair of heals to the strong opposition with Mike Weed finishing second and Denise Silk won a silver in the ladies race. Mary Collett won the Masters C race from Margret Smith in second and there were wins for Lajos Fazekas (C), Peter Collett (D) and Suzanne Clarkson (B). Unfortunately John McCabe (B) sustained an Achilles problem during the race and failed to finish.

Monday, 2nd Jun 2014 | 2014-06-02 | John Majendie - Obituary | John Majendie who died on 28th May aged 94 was the MPAGB Secretary throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. In the 1951 British Championships John, a policeman, was the only civilian of the 72 entrants. After Sandhurst, John served during the Second World War as a commando in Norway and as a major in the Normandy landings. Indeed, in recent years he organized annual reunions of Normandy veterans, using some of the £10,000 prize as winner of The Times Sternberg Active Life Award to fund those who might otherwise have been unable to attend. (For a fuller account of his military career, see his obituary in The Times, 30 May 2014). John spent many years working for the MPAGB in an unpaid capacity and, as its sole administrator, was often the voice of the association. In an interview with Weekend magazine in 1961 he bemoaned the pitiful financial support for the British team attending the World Championships that year. “We reckoned we’d done it on two shillings and seven pence halfpenny a man” (approximately 13 pence in modern money!). On the fascination of the sport, however, he pointed out that “It’s a bit of a slog but I notice that once a chap takes up the pentathlon he never gives it up.” Long may that spirit of determination remain among pentathletes. |

Friday, 30th May 2014 | 2014-05-30 | Grow Your Club Workshop | Pentathlon GB would like to offer you the chance to attend the ‘Grow Your Club’ workshops which we are running in conjunction with Sports Marketing Network. The aim of the workshops is to enable your club to become more vibrant, visible and viable.
The first workshop will focus on the importance of creating an enterprising and welcoming culture – thus attracting more money, members and volunteers. It will also cover how you can develop the enterprise culture and skills required, how to get your vision right and also a clear vision of what your club is for.
It will help your club become vibrant through the activities and events the club creates, visible through its communication with members, supporters, sponsors and the world at large thus creating a viable club.
Other topics covered include:
You will be given many proven ideas on how to generate income and concrete advice on how to implement the most appropriate ones.
The second workshop will then go through lessons learnt, successes and failures since the first workshop. We will then help you to adapt your approach and help your club to ‘keep the flame burning’ with a revised action plan.
The workshops will be facilitated by Svend Elkjaer, the founder and Managing Director of the Sports Marketing Network (SMN).
SMN provides information on how to make your club or facility more viable, vibrant and visible, sharing best practice across all sports. It publishes newsletters, organises seminars and helps sports clubs and leisure centres with their commercial, communication and community activities.
Over the last eight years more than 4,000 sports providers have benefitted from SMN's services attending our workshops and presentations, being mentored or receiving consultancy.
Here’s what some previous delegates at Svend’s Grow Your Club workshops said:
"Thank you for your presentation, I didn't know what to expect as we are quite an established club, however we are never "too old to learn", and I came away with my head buzzing with innovative thoughts and ideas. We will certainly be putting some of your suggestions into practice and will monitor the success, as I'm sure in a few months I may be contacting you again with a 'positive feedback' report. Thank you once again." Sheree Wilson Chair City of Sunderland Amateur Swimming Club CIC
"One thing you didn't mention at the workshop was the side effects! I have not slept since Thursday and my husband & kids have had to listen to me rant about all the options open to us! Paula Conroy, City of Armagh City Swimming Club
The first workshop will be run on 1830 – 2130 on Wednesday 11th June at Clackheaton Sports Club with the second on Tuesday 8th July (venue TBC). It's free to Pentathlon GB affiliated clubs and £10 for everyone else.
If you would like to book onto the workshops then please contact Pentathlon Development Officer – North, Rachael Hares rachael.hares@pentathlongb.org or 07590 444372.
We look forward to seeing you there! |

Tuesday, 27th May 2014 | 2014-05-27 | Tetrathlon to feature at World University Championships from 2018 | The sport of modern pentathlon will appear at a World University Championships for the first time in 2018 in its tetrathlon format. Some 32 sports had expressed an interest in joining the World University Championships programme, a series of single sport championships held at different locations around the world every even-numbered year. The decision to add modern pentathlon to the 50 sports already on the programme was made by the board of FISU (International University Sports Federation) in Brussels at the weekend. It followed a presentation by Shiny Fang, Secretary General of the UIPM, the international federation for modern pentathlon, to the FISU board. She was joined by up and coming French athletes Geoffrey Magi and Anais Eudes. Anthony Temple QC, Chairman of Pentathlon GB, said he was pleased with the news. “This is an important step forward, at which I am delighted,” he said. “Now it’s up to the universities to take advantage of this opportunity and develop our sport more widely, ideally at every university." Tetrathlon is a variant of the sport that sees athletes competing in four of the five pentathlon disciplines - fencing, running, swimming and shooting.

Curry and Toolis win bronze at European Championships
Posted on Tuesday, 15th Jul 2014 by Steve Ballinger
Sam Curry and Tom Toolis made sure Britain’s campaign at the Modern Pentathlon European Championships ended on a high note by winning bronze in the men’s relay in Hungary this afternoon (Tuesday).
It means the Pentathlon GB team will come home from the championships in Székesfehérvár with two medals, following the mixed relay silver medal won by Samantha Murray and Joe Evans yesterday (Monday).
The men started their campaign today in the pool, where Curry and Toolis’ 2x100m freestyle relay time of 1:52.82 was only bettered by the Poles. The British team started the day with 362 pentathlon points.
The young British pair also fenced well, winning 24 of their 40 contests for 230 points and second place. The Russian team won 28 contests to take the lead overall, with Great Britain still in second.
In the riding, the French team were the only ones to go clear in the allowed time to take the maximum 300 points. Curry and Toolis both rode well to add 291 points to their total, keeping them in second overall. They were 19 points behind the Russians and so started the run/shoot 19 seconds behind them.
Some fast shooting by France’s Valentin Belaud enabled him to overtake Curry on their second visit to the shooting range to move into second. But Curry and then Tom Toolis after him, were able keep a big enough margin between them and Belarus in fourth to bring home bronze.
The young British pair, both students at the University of Bath, clocked a time of 11:05.68 in the run/shoot to make sure of bronze. Ilia Frolov, who won the men's individual silver medal on Sunday, crossed the finish line to take men's relay gold for Russia.
The women’s relay also took place today. Jo Muir and Alice Fitton – the bronze medallists at last month’s European Juniors – finished eighth.
Their competition started in the fencing hall, where Muir and Fitton won 11 of their 40 fencing bouts to start the day in 11th place with 165 points.
The British pair produced the second fastest swimming time of the day – 2:04.88 – to add 326 points to their total and move up to second. The time was only bettered by the Ukrainian team, who led overall.
The Brits were one of only two teams to go clear in the allowed time in the riding arena to net the full 300 riding points, along with Lithuania. They remained in 10th place in the leaderboard, but closed the gaps on the other teams ahead of the run/shoot.
Fitton and Muir battled hard in the run/shoot, recording a time of 12:32.48, to end the day in eighth.
The British team are based at the Pentathlon GB National Training Centre at the University of Bath.
The 2014 World Championships take place in Warsaw, Poland at the beginning of September.
The 2015 European Championships will take place at the University of Bath from 17 to 23 August and will be the first opportunity for European athletes to achieve the Olympic qualifying standard for the Rio 2016 Games.
Men’s relay results
Gold: Russia (Ilia Frolov & Oleg Naumov) – 1558 points
Silver: France (Valentin Prades & Valentin Belaud) – 1539 points
Bronze: Great Britain (Sam Curry & Tom Toolis) – 1518 points
