BRUSSELS (BEL) – For the first time in CISM history, the 1st CISM Online Military Tournament will be hosted by the CSC Naval Pentathlon.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic that hit the world and led to the cancellation of many World Military Championships, the CISM Board of Directors decided at its 2021-2 Meeting held in Lanzarote, Spain, the creation of the CISM Online Military Tournament that can be organised when any CISM World Military Championship is cancelled and this at the discretion and responsibility of each CISM Sports Committee (CSC).
It is on this basis that the CISM Naval Pentathlon Committee considered it necessary and feasible to organise the 1st Naval Pentathlon CISM Online Military Tournament due to this pandemic period. After postponing the 52nd World Military Naval Pentathlon Championship in 2020 and cancelling it in 2021, there is a need to mitigate the negative effects of the cancellation and allow the athletes to remain motivated and continue training.
This online CISM competition will take place from 20 to 23 September 2021 with remote management and supervision of the CSC members via the global internet.
