What is Obstacle discipline in Modern Pentathlon?

The discipline that replaced riding from the LA 2028 Olympic cycle: a timed sprint over ninja-style obstacles raced in parallel lanes. Times convert to pentathlon points, and obstacle failures carry defined penalties.

Example: The obstacle discipline made its world championship debut before its Olympic bow at LA 2028.
