hooting

The shooting phase began at 10 a.m. Each pentathlete fired 20 shots, with no more than 40 seconds between shots. The perfect score for each shot was 10 points, for a total possible of 200. Pentathlon points (MP points) were accorded assuming a par score of 172 points, meaning that a pentathlete scored 1000 MP points for that score. Each shooting point above or below the par resulted in an addition or subtraction of 12 MP points. Therefore, if a shooter hit the perfect 200, he would receive 1336 MP points.

Riding

Riding was the fourth segment held, beginning shortly after 4 p.m. Each competitor was randomly paired with one of the 16 horses used for the competition, with each horse performing twice. The course included 15 jumps as well as a time limit. Completing the course inside the time limit without knocking any of the bars off of the jumps would have resulted in 1200 MP points, with points subtracted for going over time, colliding with obstacles, or other equestrian faults. The penalties assessed were taken directly from the 1200 point starting total.

Running

The 3 kilometre cross-country race was the final segment of the modern pentathlon. It used a staggered-start, with the points leader (Andrey Moiseev) after the first four events going first. The rest of the competitors had to wait 1 second for each 4 points they were behind Moiseev. Since the scoring for the race used a par time of 10:00.00 with each second above or below that time subtracting or adding 4 points to the base 1000, the staggered start meant that the finishing order of the race was the actual final standing of the entire event.

Moiseev's head start gave him a fairly easy victory, 13 seconds before the next best pentathlete, even though 10 competitors ran the course in faster times. Andrejus Zadneprovskis ran the 3 kilometres in 20 fewer seconds than Moiseev, but since Zadneprovskis started 33 seconds after the Russian had, he was unable to catch Moiseev.
