Ahmed Elgendy finished with a world record 1,555 points to become the first Egyptian to win the men’s modern pentathlon.
The Tokyo 2020 silver-medallist finished 13 points ahead of Japan’s Taishu Sato, who took silver with Giorgio Malan of Italy securing bronze.
Great Britain’s Joe Choong, the defending champion, finished ninth with 1,519 points having finished 50 points behind Elgendy in the fencing round.
Elgendy’s total was four more than the previous world record set by Hungary’s Csaba Bohm at the 2024 World Championships.
Earlier, defending champion Kate French and British team-mate Kerenza Bryson comfortably qualified for the women’s final on Sunday.
After strong fencing displays on Thursday, Bryson crossed the line first at the end of the laser run with a new Olympic record of 1,402 points.
The 25-year-old, who is a qualified doctor and army reservist, said: “I’m really pleased that the race was executed how I wanted it to be.
“This is my first Games so I’ve not experienced anything like this before. I really felt the energy and was turning it into positivity. It was amazing to be a part of.”
