Mohamed and Khalil lead Egypt to Pentathlon World Cup Final sweep
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, July 7, (Xinhua): Moutaz Mohamed and Farida Khalil won the men's and women's titles respectively for Egypt at the UIPM 2025 Pentathlon World Cup Final in the coastal city of Alexandria. Mohamed broke his world record to win the men's gold while 14-year-old Khalil thrilled Egyptian fans by winning the women's final. The 20-year-old Mohamed extended the overall world record by seven points to 1,583, ahead of Czech athlete Matej Lukes (1,574) and France's Ugo Fleurot (1,567). Building on his first Pentathlon World Cup gold and second Junior World Championships title, Mohamed completed the obstacle event in 27.45 seconds, placed first in swimming with a time of 2:00.34, and sealed his victory with a confident laser run in 10:00.33 - one of the fastest times of the day. "I'm extremely happy to have claimed this title today," Mohamed told Xinhua after his win. "It's a huge achievement to win the Pentathlon World Cup final." "We started preparing early in the season," he added. "This was my fourth competition in the season, and it came just four days after the Junior World Championships, where I also won gold. So, the focus was on quick recovery and preparation, and thankfully, it paid off." Earlier in the day, Khalil claimed her third gold of the season. Her performance, combined with Mohamed's triumph, brought Egypt's medal tally in the 2025 World Cup series to eight: five golds, one silver, and two bronzes. "The victories of Farida and Moutaz today are certainly a great achievement, but we should not stop there. We are on the right path, and we view each competition as a stepping stone, immediately shifting our focus to the next challenge," Sherif El-Erian, UIPM vice president and president of the Egyptian Modern Pentathlon Federation, told Xinhua. "Our policy is clear: every athlete has set numerical goals to achieve, and we aim for each season to conclude on a strong note - just like this one," he added. Held at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport in Alexandria, this round of the UIPM 2025 Pentathlon World Cup series featured 36 qualified athletes - 18 men and 18 women - from around the world competing in the season finale. This year's event also marked the first World Cup Final to feature the new obstacle discipline, introduced as a replacement for equestrian after the 2024 Paris Olympics.
