<strong>Modern</strong> <strong>Pentathlon</strong> has always been<br />
and will rema<strong>in</strong> the p<strong>in</strong>nacle of our<br />
movement, and it will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to<br />
flourish if we strengthen the base.<br />
Dear Colleagues and friends of <strong>Modern</strong> <strong>Pentathlon</strong> movement!<br />
I would like to use this<br />
opportunity to reflect on an<br />
<strong>in</strong>credible year for our<br />
wonderful sport.<br />
2018 has been a year of rapid<br />
progression, a year of new<br />
horizons and adventures, a<br />
year of projects fulfilled and<br />
challenges overcome.<br />
After a successful year 2017<br />
we already have our eyes set<br />
on Youth Olympic Games<br />
2022 - Dakar. Yes, Dakar…the<br />
host city for the next Youth<br />
Olympic Games to be held <strong>in</strong><br />
Senegal.<br />
And we would like to use it to<br />
say, first of all, <strong>than</strong>k you.<br />
Thank you to all athletes, who<br />
under difficult conditions<br />
engage <strong>in</strong> our sport, <strong>in</strong>vest<br />
their time and sometimes their<br />
money to learn and compete <strong>in</strong><br />
the sport they love. The same<br />
goes for their coaches and all<br />
of our judges.<br />
Thank you to all State &<br />
District Associations and<br />
local organizers, whose<br />
efforts are crucial to<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> our network of<br />
events, our participation <strong>in</strong><br />
National & International<br />
events.<br />
Thank you to our partners,<br />
who stand by us <strong>in</strong> difficult<br />
times and help our sport to<br />
rema<strong>in</strong> relevant and protect<br />
its history.<br />
Thank you to all our board<br />
members, who advise and<br />
lead us to the best of their<br />
abilities.<br />
Thank you to all coach<strong>in</strong>g<br />
staff and officials. Many of<br />
our officials are also<br />
volunteers and devote their<br />
time away from their daily<br />
jobs.<br />
They deserve a very special<br />
mention and appreciation.<br />
I often highlight the fact that<br />
<strong>Modern</strong> <strong>Pentathlon</strong> is a<br />
thrill<strong>in</strong>g spectacle to watch,<br />
but at the same time a safe<br />
and responsible sport. Above<br />
all, it is an <strong>in</strong>novative sport,<br />
one that never stops want<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to grow and evolve, and this<br />
was never more apparent<br />
<strong>than</strong> <strong>in</strong> 2018.<br />
Our vision is to prove that an<br />
athlete can grow from be<strong>in</strong>g<br />
a champion <strong>in</strong> one discipl<strong>in</strong>e<br />
to a true hero, a complete<br />
pentathlete and human be<strong>in</strong>g<br />
at the same time, who<br />
masters a whole range of<br />
discipl<strong>in</strong>es, from a <strong>Modern</strong><br />
Biathle, Triathle, Tetrathlon<br />
to the Champion Pentathlete<br />
champion.<br />
We look forward to receiv<strong>in</strong>g<br />
those and to nurture a very<br />
crucial debate with<strong>in</strong> the<br />
<strong>Modern</strong> <strong>Pentathlon</strong> family.
