	Press Box - Modern Pentathlon Athens Qualifiers - 6/15/2004
		Only thirty two (32) men and thirty two (32) women worldwide are selected to compete at the Olympic games, making Modern Pentathlon one of the most difficult of all 28 Olympic sports for which to qualify.
		Incidentally, it would appear that the United States will be one of a handful (perhaps two or three) countries in the world to qualify the maximum quota of four (4) athletes for Athens, in the sport of Modern Pentathlon.
		For the second consecutive time, the United States has achieved the maximum qualification quota of two (2) men and two (2) women for an Olympiad, having already achieved the feat for the 2000 Sydney games; when women competed for the first time in Olympic history, earning a Silver medal.
