At the XXX. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London , two modern pentathlon competitions were held, one each for women and men.

For the first time, the shooting and the cross-country run were carried out together as a so-called combined at the end of the competition. The athletes had to fire five shots after every kilometer. They did not use an air pistol, as was previously the case, but a laser pistol.

Qualification criteria

72 athletes will take part in the competitions, 36 women and 36 men each. The host NOK was guaranteed two quota places . The world association UIPM was able to award up to four quota places by invitation after the qualification phase. Each NOK was allowed to start a total of four athletes, two women and two men.

The following qualification criteria applied in parallel to women and men. The winner of the 2011 World Cup final in London won a quota place. At the 2011 World Championships in Moscow , the top three athletes won a quota place. The world championships were initially supposed to take place in Cairo from September 6-14, 2011 , but were re-awarded due to the political unrest . Further places were then awarded at the continental championships. One quota place was awarded at the African Championships in Alexandria , four at the Pan American Games in Guadalajara , six at the Asia / Oceania Championships in Chengdu (five for Asia, one for Oceania) and eight at the European Championships in Medway . Three more quota places were awarded at the 2012 World Championships in Rome . The last seven places were distributed over the world rankings on June 1, 2012. If an athlete had already won a quota place and again achieved a placement that guaranteed a quota place, the next athlete without a quota place received it.

List of qualifying tournaments:

• Asia / Oceania Championships in Chengdu , May 19-22, 2011 
• World Cup Finals in London , July 8-10, 2011 
• African Championships in Alexandria , July 22-24, 2011 
• European Championships in Medway , July 28th to August 1st 2011 
• World Championships in Moscow , September 8-14, 2011 
• Pan American Games in Guadalajara , October 15-16, 2011 
• World Championships in Rome , May 7th to 13th, 2012

Due to a sufficiently high number of qualified NOKs, a total of athletes from 26 different NOKs were able to secure the participation, the UIPM allocated all still open quota places in June 2012 according to the world rankings. Argentina won a continental quota place, but waived the nomination of an athlete.
