It was discontinued. A sport similar to Modern Pentathlon in the Summer Olympics or a sport which combines like Decathalon some of the best components of the Winter Olympics.
I doubt it as its doesent seem to be a very popular event anymore, despite the fact that its one of the hardest events to do due to all the different events you have to try and master. A competitor in Winter pentathalon would have to do hell of alot of training, but its hard to do and fund as theres not much sponsership in events like that due to it not really being a sport that gets much coverage, and most of the atheltes involved are relativly unknown to most people only hardcore followers of that sport will know who they are. |
