Modern pentathlon at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of 2 competitors, 1 per each gender. As hosts, China was initially given the maximum quota, but only selected a female athlete and a further 4, 2 in each gender was initially given to the Tripartite Commission, but none were selected. The spots were reallocated to the world rankings. The remaining 42 places shall be decided in three stages; firstly four continental qualification tournaments held in 2013, second the 2014 World Youth A Championships and finally the Olympic Youth A Pentathlon World Rankings.[1]

Each athlete will compete in both the individual and mixed events. To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics athletes must have been born between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 1999.[1]
