JAKARTA – The International Modern Pentathlon Federation (UIPM) has confirmed that Bali will host one of UIPM's main competitions in the next two years.

The competition in question is the 2023 UIPM Biathle/Triathle World Championship. This marks the first time the biathle/triathle world championship has been held in Asia.

"This is a very important day for this extraordinary sport, and I am delighted to welcome these beautiful host cities," said UIPM President Dr. Klaus Schormann quoted from the NOC page.

“And with great pride, we will see the continent of Asia host the first-ever Biathle/Triathle World Championships in Bali. Competitive and inspiring host selection process,” he continued.

The selection of Bali was carried out as an effort to maintain the legacy that had been left in the 2018 Asian Games, which was held in Indonesia. The appointment of Bali as the host is considered to be able to encourage the development of this sport.

UIPM said that modern pentathlon continues to develop in Indonesia and at the same time hopes that young Indonesian athletes can show off.

"Developing modern pentathlon which is a multi-disciplinary sport, bringing it to new communities, and inspiring the next generation remains our focus," said Schormann.
