UIPM launch new website ahead of Rio 2016

UIPM1
With few days to go until the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) has today launched a dynamic new website: www.uipmworld.org .
The new central site replaces its predecessor (pentathlon.org) and is a fully responsive new home for Modern Pentathlon and all the other UIPM sports.
UIPMWorld is available on all platforms and devices, is completely integrated with the UIPM competition management and results system and is connected to all of UIPM's social networks.
The aim of the new site is to be user-friendly for UIPM stakeholders who use it as a resource.  The benefits will include faster page loads and better search engine optimization aimed at spreading the word around the world and growing the UIPM Family.
UIPM President Dr Klaus Schormann said: "We always have to keep on working on the development of our sport and organization and promote the philosophy of Pierre de Coubertin worldwide.
"The 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro will be another important milestone for the future of Modern Pentathlon as we introduce Bonus Fencing, and there will be other exciting innovations to come.
"For UIPM it is always important to keep up with the times and that's why we need to modernize and develop our website for the benefit of our sport, for our UIPM family, for our fans and for the media. Go beyond, create tomorrow."
The launch of the central website comes five months after the birth of UIPMTV.org, which completed UIPM's digital ecosystem with its emphasis on live streaming and video replay of major events, coupled with a social media hub
