Youth Arena – inside Deodoro Olympic Park – will host some basketball matches and the fencing section of modern pentathlon during the Olympic Games. Modern pentathlon’s other events will take place at the Deodoro Aquatics Centre (swimming) and the Deodoro Stadium (equestrian and combined event). The venues are about 300 metres apart, allowing for easy movement between them. When the Paralympic Games get underway, the Youth Arena will stage the wheelchair fencing events.
