In 1928, the Olympic Modern Pentathlon competitions were held for the fourth time. At the three previous Olympics, Swedish athletes occupied the entire podium. Despite the fact that the Swedes again got silver and gold, they lost bronze - the German athlete Helmut Kal became its owner. At the previous two Olympics, German athletes did not perform.
Athletes from 14 countries took part in the competition, which was a new record for pentathletes.
