French Athletes Dominate as Pentathlon World Cup Cairo Heats Up

Posted : 27 February 2025

The UIPM 2025 Pentathlon World Cup Cairo continued to deliver excitement on its second day, with French athletes dominating the Men’s Qualification round. In Group A, Leo Bories secured victory with an impressive 1,543 points, just ahead of his teammate Mathis Rochat, who finished with 1,540 points.

 

Meanwhile, Group B saw an even stronger performance from Ugo Fleurot, who amassed 1,546 points, finishing six points ahead of two-time world champion Valentin Belaud. These results underscored France’s strong adaptation to the new Modern Pentathlon format, which now includes the Obstacle discipline for the first time.

 

While France excelled in overall performance, Egyptian athletes continued to set the pace in the Obstacle course, claiming four of the fastest times. Mohamed El Ashqar delivered a standout run, completing the course in just 21.93 seconds on his way to securing third place in Group A.

 

In Group B, Matej Lukes of Czechia also impressed, finishing in third place. The day also marked a historic moment with the introduction of the first-ever Fencing Seeding Round for women, determining the direct elimination order for the upcoming Semi-finals and Finals.

 

Teen sensation Farida Khalil of Egypt continued to shine in the Fencing Seeding Round, achieving 24 victories with only six defeats, earning her the top seed in Semi-final A. In Semi-final B, the honor went to Paris 2024 Olympic champion Michelle Gulyas of Hungary, who secured 22 wins against 10 losses.

 

The competition intensifies as the Women's Semi-finals and Men’s Fencing Seeding Round take place on February 27, followed by the Men’s Semi-finals on February 28, leading up to the highly anticipated Finals on Super Saturday, March 1.
