Modern pentathlon at the 1984 Summer Olympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The modern pentathlon at the 1984 Summer Olympics was represented by two events: Individual competition and Team competition.[1] As it was usual in Olympic modern pentathlon until 1992, a single competition was held to determine both the individual and the team (country) ranking. In particular, the sum of each competitor's individual score from the same country determined the Team competition event result.
