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.
