Pentathlon World Cup #1, Sarasota, FL Equestrian Athlete

Pentathlon World Cup #1, Sarasota, FL
Equestrian Athlete Information and Application
Each year the International Union of Modern Pentathlon grants five World
Cup competitions and one World Cup Final to bidding countries from their fifty four federations throughout the world. The United States has the honor of
receiving the winning bid for the World Cup #1 in the 2015 series. We are
pleased to announce that Sarasota, Florida is the location of this World Cup on
the dates of February 12th – February 24th. With your help, we hope to make it a
very successful and memorable event.
Each World Cup includes a Jury Ride to determine the best horses for the
finals competitions, an Opening Ceremony celebrating its Olympic origins, and a
competition for men and women that includes fencing, swimming, equestrian
riding, running, and laser shooting. You may have recently witnessed the Modern
Pentathlon competition on the last two days of the XXX Olympiad in Great
Britain. Many of these same athletes that competed in the London Games will
arrive in Sarasota, Florida from around the world to compete in the World Cup
#1, 2015.
We invite you to join us in celebrating the sport of Modern Pentathlon’s
competition in the United States by providing a venue for you to promote your
horse, while at the same time providing valuable service to the many
experienced equestrians as they compete. In the sport of Modern Pentathlon,
the athlete is issued his equine partner through a draw just prior to competing in
the arena. It’s a tradition 100 years strong in the Olympics and one that shows
the true ability of the competitor’s adaptability, both horse and human.
The audience is made up largely of international and domestic spectators.
We provide many amenities, including stabling at the venue with a practice arena
to give the equine athlete every opportunity to perform at their best. Both practice
and competition arenas are on a grass course designed and approved by UIPM.
We look forward to hearing from you!
