The ancient pentathlon in the original Olympic Games covered skills thought to be useful in war: long jump, javelin, discus, running (a short race), and Wrestling.
The modern pentathlon takes that same idea, and "modernized" it to early 20th century warfare. It consists of shooting, swimming, Fencing, equestrian (horse riding) and cross country running.
