There are few sports that owe their origins to the ancient equivalent of a Bond movie -- but modern pentathlon is one of them.It was created by French baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic movement, and combines all of the aspects of traditional combat.The basic premise is of a soldier trapped in a castle on a lake. He must fence his way out before swimming to the shore, riding an unfamiliar horse out of the village and running through a wood shooting at enemies.Modern pentathlon was first held at the 1912 Olympic Games and an event for women was added in 2000. It consists of fencing, swimming, show jumping, shooting and running.---ONE TO WATCH:Cheered on by a home crowd, Brazilian Yane Marques will be bidding to improve on the bronze medal she won four years ago.Modern pentathlon was a little known discipline in Brazil when Marques, who was born in a small town in the Brazilian northeast, took it up in 2003, becoming national champion just a year later.But a series of titles, including gold at the 2007 Pan American Games and becoming the first Olympic medal winner in modern pentathlon in the entire Southern Hemisphere has made the country sit up and take note.Marques also won gold at the 2015 Pan American Games and silver at the 2013 world championships, where she lost out to Olympic gold medalist Laura Asadauskaite.There are advantages: knowing the facilities, having a huge crowd behind me, my family being able to see me race, the 32-year-old Marques said. Aside from all this though, there is a very great pressure.The 32-year-old again faces stiff competition, with the top seven from London all returning.Asadauskaite of Lithuania will be favorite, along with Germanys Lena Schoneborn, the 2008 Olympic champion and 2015 World champion.---RULE CHANGES:The core sport remains largely the same since London 2012, but with the addition of a fencing bonus round, which sees the athletes compete in a one-on-one format on a single piste after the traditional round robin in a bid to up their score.The combined event has also been slightly altered to involve four 800m laps of running, instead of 1000m, each still prefaced by laser shooting at five targets, with the intention of restoring more weight to the shooting element.The introduction of the combined event was one of two dramatic changes between Beijing 2008 and London, with the other being the replacement of air pistols with laser ones, for safety reasons.---FAMILY AFFAIRS:For the first time in modern pentathlon history, two sisters will compete in the same Games.It will be a third successive Olympics for 24-year-old American Margaux Isaksen, who was fourth in London, just two seconds away from a medal, and a first for younger sister Isabella, 22.To be able to compete together with your sister, there is nothing more special, Margaux said. I think this could be the most special Olympics just in that respect.There could also be sibling rivalry on the mens team. Nathan Schrimsher was the first American athlete in any sport to qualify for the Rio Games and younger brother Lucas is his reserve teammate.Sydney siblings Max and Chloe Esposito will also both be competing in the modern pentathlon and the family link doesnt stop there.Right alongside them will be their father and coach, Daniel Esposito, who represented Australia in the sport in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and also qualified for the 1988 Seoul Olympics but had to pull out due to injury.Chloe, 23, finished a surprise seventh in London and is now targeting a first medal in modern pentathlon for Australia. It is 18-year-old Maxs first Olympic Games.---SKULDUGGERYOne of the biggest scandals in Olympic history took place in modern pentathlon during the 1976 Games in Montreal.Soviet athlete Boris Onischenko was one of the stars of the discipline. He had helped his country win the team event in 1972, where he was also an individual silver-medallist, and he won the world championship three times.At the age of 38, Onischenko was expected to bow out of his last Olympics with a medal.However, during the fencing section it was discovered that he had wired his epee so that he could trigger the electronic scoring system with his hand and register a hit at will.Onishchenko was disqualified and escorted from the athletes village by Soviet officials that very night.Two months later it was reported that Onischenko had been called before Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev for a personal scolding, dismissed from the Red Army, fined 5,000 rubles, stripped of all his sporting honors, and was working as a taxi driver in Kiev.

ARLINGTON, Texas --Yu Darvish goes back to the mound Friday to open a three-game series against slumping Detroit seeking his first victory since June 3.The Texas right-hander is winless in five starts since coming off a second stint on the disabled list July 16 despite a 2.73 ERA and .216 opponents batting average during that stretch. Darvish (2-3, 2.78 ERA) did not factor into the decision in the Rangers 5-3 victory over Houston on Sunday.Darvish went a season-high seven innings and gave up no runs on five hits while striking out eight against the Astros for his fourth consecutive quality start. He has struck out at least eight batters in four of his past five turns and has gone more than six innings in his past two.Darvish is 0-1 with a 2.33 ERA and 23 strikeouts in his last three starts. In his career against Detroit, he is 5-0 with a 3.60 ERA in five starts, though he hasnt faced the Tigers in more than two years.The last four games I feel like Ive pitched really well so what Im focusing on right now is to keep pitching like I have, Darvish said.Darvish might be licking his chops.The Tigers, losers of four straight games, managed six runs in 33 innings while being swept by Seattle. With Cameron Maybin (sprained thumb) hurting and Nick Castellanos (broken left hand) out of the lineup, Detroits offense has suffered.Were aware of whats going on, Justin Verlander told tthe Detroit Free Press after a 3-1 loss Wednesday in a game featuring Verlander and Felix Hernandez.dddddddddddd We are aware of losing some key pieces. Hopefully its short-term rather than long-term. But weve got enough guys to plug the holes. Ive got faith in every one of these guys.We cant get down about the guys that arent there for you. Weve got to win with what weve got right now.The Tigers counter with right-hander Anibal Sanchez (6-11, 5.88 ERA), who turned in his best start of the season in his most recent outing, going eight innings for the first time in 2016 and limiting the Mets to one run on four hits while striking out 10 and not walking a batter in a no-decision.Sanchez is 1-0 with a 2.70 and 17 strikeouts in his last three starts.Reliever Justin Wilson has allowed runs in six of his last eight appearances.It happens to everybody, Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. Even the best are going to have bad stretches, unfortunately it costs you games a lot of times. Thats the nature of the position, the nature of the role they have in the bullpen.The series also features the return of Ian Kinsler, his first appearance in Texas since the retirement of Prince Fielder, the primary components of the blockbuster between the teams in 2013.
