The UIPM 2025 U19 World Championships in Druskininkai reached a thrilling peak today with the Men’s Final, where Hungary’s Nemere Szecsi delivered a historic performance. Scoring 1577 points, he not only secured the gold medal but also set a new U19 world record, raising the standard for the next generation of modern pentathletes.
Behind him, Oleg Rybak of Ukraine claimed silver with a strong and consistent display, while Brazil’s Jhon Jhaymesson De Lima Xavier took bronze after an impressive fencing round and a powerful finish in the laser run.
In the team standings, Ukraine celebrated gold, showcasing the depth of their squad and the resilience of a nation competing with pride on the world stage. Egypt secured silver, fueled by the outstanding efforts of Omar Amer and Sief Soliman, while the Czech Republic clinched bronze, adding another chapter to their rich pentathlon tradition.
The Men’s Final not only highlighted outstanding individual achievements but also underlined the collective spirit of the championship — with young athletes pushing boundaries, setting records, and proving that the future of modern pentathlon is brighter than ever.
Tomorrow, the competition closes with the departure day, but the memories of Druskininkai 2025 — from historic Para Tetrathlon debuts to record-breaking U19 champions — will remain long after the medals are packed away.
