Biography

Before 1984, Italy had never won an Olympic medal in the modern pentathlon. But with 1982 World Champion [Daniel Masala] and the East Europeans missing due to the boycott, the Italians were suddenly favoured for the title in Los Angeles. Three-time Olympian Pierpaolo Cristofori was the third member of the Italian team, securing the gold medal with his 11th position individually. Four years earlier, Cristofori’s job as a police officer nearly prevented Olympic participation. The government had forbidden military personnel to attend the Moscow Games, although the Italians did not boycott the Games. Cristofori took a leave of absence and competed as a civilian. Besides competing in the pentathlon sports, Cristofori was also an avid sailor, and he has competed in Mumm 30 World Championships.
