Overview

The International Modern Pentathlon Union (French: Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne), UIPM, is the international governing body of Modern pentathlon. Its headquarters are in Monte-Carlo, Monaco. Modern Pentathlon was introduced at the 5th Olympiad in Stockholm in 1912, comprising the contemporary sports of pistol shooting, fencing, swimming, horse riding and running, which embraced the spirit of its ancient counterpart. Modern Pentathlon was administrated directly by the IOC until 1948, when the International Modern Pentathlon Union (UIPM) was founded.

Flag at the London 2012 Olympics

The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics(Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012 [loc12]) provides recommendations for flag designs. Each international federation and international paralympics federation was sent an image of the flag, including the PMS shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced a 60 x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may not be the official version of each flag, they are certainly what theinternational federation and international paralympics federation believed the flag to be.
