They're up and running!

USA Pentathlon.

How's this for an endorsement?
"The most perfect sportsman, therefore, are the Pentathletes because in their bodies strength and speed are combined in beautiful harmony"
-- Aristotle


And in his day, they didn't do shooting, horse jumping or fencing. Modern Pentathlon has added events requiring steely nerves and iron courage as well. (Although wrestling requires both those and a hell of a mean streak as well.)
