MONACO (AP) — Moscow will host this year’s modern pentathlon world championships after Cairo dropped out because of the recent political instability in Egypt.

The international federation, UIPM, says the championships will be held in the Russian capital from Sept. 1-7. The event had been scheduled for Cairo from Sept. 16-14.

Russian Modern Pentathlon Federation president Vyacheslav Aminov says “it is a great honor and joy for Russia to welcome the UIPM family, one year before the Olympic Games.”

Three qualification places for the London Games will be up for grabs.
