What is a "tetrathlon"?
A tetrathlon is a multi-sport event that consists of four different disciplines. Typically, the events in a tetrathlon include swimming, running, show jumping, and a shooting event. The competition tests a range of athletic skills such as endurance, precision, speed, and horse-riding ability. Points are awarded based on performance in each event, and the athlete with the highest total score wins. The tetrathlon is most commonly seen in youth competitions and some equestrian sports, and it is designed to challenge athletes with a diverse set of skills across both individual and combined events.
