biathle
Modern biathle

Within the penthathlon sport the term biathle is also used for (training) races comprising swimming and running.

A variant is Winter Biathle which has indoor swimming and does not have continuous transitions.

Designed as a 'Sport for All', Biathle has been practised for over 50 years.

The Biathle has universal appeal.

The Biathle competition begins with a pack start of runners who complete one-half of the total running distance before entering a 50-meter transition area.

The Biathle World Championships have been held in September or October annually since 1999.

The Academy has produced more than 50 national champions in fencing, biathle, biathlon, triathlon, tetrathlon and pentathlon.

In 2005 UIPM launched a new competition linked to the success of Biathle.

The UIPM states that it has created the Biathle format for the purpose of develop ment.

Richard Stannard (born April 1974) is a triathlete from Great Britain and the current 2012 Biathle world champion.

Andrea and Sam will now represent Great Britain in the World Biathle at Bonn in Germany on September 8th.

Congratulations to Mark, Laura, Scott and Louis and good luck in the World Biathle Championships in Bonn.

We have boys and girls in our prep school as young as six com­peting in Biathle, and we invite local primary schools up to have a go, which they seem to enjoy.

Through Biathle the UIPM has established a competition composed of the two fundamental components of Modern Pentathlon and most practised sports in the world - run and swim.

As part of the ongoing ­development we'll be hosting the inaugural National School Biathle in June at Leweston at which we hope more athletes will be inspired to take part.

When she joined the group she was a very average performer but over the last few years she has gradually improved,once again this year she will represent Great Britain in the Biathle in Sardinia.

The originality of the 'World School Biathle' is that schools will take part to this international competition by entering their results in a global database using the UIPM website (www.pentathlon.org) directly from their location.

At the 2014 Biathle and Triathle World Championships in Guatemala won the gold medal in Triathle and the bronze Medal in Biathle.

The first Biathle World Championships took place in Monaco in 1999 and the Biathle World Tour started in 2002 to include up to 6 competitions in various locations throughout the year.

After a successful event, three of the girls were selected for the World Biathle Championships in Cyprus to be part of a Great Britain team who won 14 of the 20 gold medals available, including a team gold for Victoria Halford.
