Since the scoring for the race used a par time of 10:00.00 with each second above or below that time subtracting or adding 4 points to the base 1000, the staggered start meant that the finishing order of the race was the actual final standing of the entire event.
Moiseev's head start
gave him a fairly easy victory, 13 seconds before the next best pentathlete, even though 10 competitors ran the course in faster times. Andrejus Zadneprovskis

Shooting
The shooting phase began at 10 a.m. Each pentathlete fired 20 shots, with no more than 40 seconds between shots. The perfect score for each shot was 10 points, for a total possible of 200. Pentathlon points (MP points) were accorded assuming a par score of 172 points, meaning that a pentathlete scored 1000 MP points for that score. Each shooting point above or below the par resulted in an addition or subtraction of 12 MP points. Therefore, if a shooter hit the perfect 200, he would receive 1336 MP points.| Rank | Name | NOC | Shots | Score | MP points |
