It's Every Day
The pentathlon, developed by the modern founder of the Olympic Games, Pierre de Courbertin, encompasses five events that exemplify the skills that characterized Napoleonic couriers: fencing; pistol shooting; horseback riding/jumping; a 4,000 meter cross-country foot race; and a 300 meter swim. Iagorashvili handles all five events in one easy statement: "expectations are dangerous in general. I don't like to expect things - except to do my best."
