Cycling Skills used in Olympic Modern Pentathlon

Learning to ride efficiently and safely in traffic is important. In the United Kingdom, many primary school children took the Cycling Proficiency Test now branded as 'Bike ability', to help them cycle more safely. In countries such as the Netherlands, where cycling is popular, cyclists sometimes ride in bike lanes at the side of, or separate from, main highways and roads. Many primary schools participate in the national road test in which children individually complete a circuit on roads near the school while being observed by testers.

Great Britain at 2008 Olympic Modern Pentathlon

Great Britain competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. The United Kingdom was represented by the British Olympic Association (BOA), and the team of selected athletes was officially known as Team GB. Britain is one of only five NOCs to have competed in every Summer Olympic Games since 1896. The delegation of 547 people included 311 competitors 168 men, 143 women and 236 officials. The team was made up of athletes from the whole United Kingdom including Northern Ireland whose people may elect to hold Irish citizenship and are able to be selected to represent either Great Britain or Ireland at the Olympics. Additionally some British overseas territories compete separately from Britain in Olympic competition.

Great Britain's medal performance at the 2008 Summer Olympics was its best in a century; only its performance at the 1908 Summer Olympics, which Britain also hosted in London, resulted in more gold medals being awarded. The total medal count, of 47, is also the second highest Great Britain has ever achieved, with only the 1908 Games resulting in more medals.

Great Britain finished 4th overall in the medal tables, a target previously set by UK Sport, the public body responsible for distributing funding to elite sport, for the 2012 Games. UK Sport is currently considering whether to target 3rd place in the 2012 Games, which will be hosted by the United Kingdom in London.  You can buy Olympic Modern Pentathlon Tickets from Sport Ticket Exchange at very cheap rates.
