Biathlon

Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes compete in a race that involves skiing a set distance, interspersed with shooting at targets. Competitors must demonstrate both endurance through skiing and precision in shooting, as they are required to hit targets while managing the physical exertion of the race. The sport involves various distances and formats, including individual races, sprint events, and relay competitions. Biathlon originated from military training and has evolved into a popular competitive sport featured in the Winter Olympic Games and various international competitions.
