Apparently Canada took silver in the Modern Pentathlon at the Pan Am Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
10 points if you can guess how many sports make up modern pentathlon.
15 points if you can name any single sport.
A: The sports of modern pentathlon are: Chess, Sudoku, Crossword, Spot The Differences and Where’s Waldo.
Monica Pinette of Langley, BC finished a very close 196 points behind the Brazilian winner. So close! Said Monica: “I would have won, except for in the final Where’s Waldo, I was geared up for a hoser in a toque, instead they went with Waldo in a Carmen Miranda tutti-frutti hat. I think that favoured the Brazilian…it is so unfair”.
Seriously:
penta = five in Greek
The 5 sports are running, shooting, fencing, swimming and equestrian
