Sevastopol's Filar wins at US Pentathlon ID camp

You have another week before you can enjoy it at the Paris Olympics, but Sevastopol's Luke Filar has already received a crash course in the pentathlon this summer.

 

Shared by Sevastopol School District, Filar was invited to a talent identification camp for the US Pentathlon at the United States Olympic Training Center last month in Colorado Springs. While the Olympic pentathlon has athletes competing in fencing, swimming, show jumping, shooting, and running, Filar took a crack at ninja, fencing, swimming, running, and laser shooting. According to the Facebook post, it was Filar's first taste of fencing. 

 

Filar put those skills to action last Saturday and won the national championship for U17 athletes at the US Pentathlon National Championships. You can check out more photos below.
