Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes compete in a race that involves skiing a set distance followed by shooting at targets, typically using a .22 caliber rifle. The competition format often includes multiple laps of skiing interspersed with shooting bouts, where athletes must accurately hit targets to avoid penalty distances or time. The sport requires a unique combination of endurance, strength, and precision, as athletes must maintain a high level of physical performance while also demonstrating shooting accuracy under the stress of exertion. Biathlon is a prominent event in the Winter Olympic Games and has various race formats, including sprint, pursuit, individual, and relay events.
