Watch modern pentathlon at Olympics 2024 and enjoy a combination of engrossing sports. Below we have all the information on how to watch Modern Pentathlon at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

The men's final on Saturday saw Egyptian favorite Ahmed El-Gendy fulfil his promise and take gold ahead of Japanese Taishu Sato and Italian Giorgio Malan.

Now it's the turn of the women, and the job of guessing the podium positions is proving a difficult one now that 32 have been cut to 18. Team GB's Kate French took the title in Tokyo, but it's her compatriot Kerenza Bryson who performed best in Saturday's semi-final to set a new Olympic record. Bryson has been a growing force in this event for the last couple of years and now has a golden chance for glory today.

As well as teammate French, she'll have to fend off a stern Italian challenge from Elena Micheli and Alice Sotero and reigning world champion Seong Seung-min of Korea. While Élodie Clouvel is also well placed and looking to give the home crowd another medal to cheer at the Paris games.

Here's where to watch modern pentathlon and 2024 Olympics live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
