Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes compete in races where they ski over a set distance, with designated shooting intervals where they must accurately shoot targets using a rifle. The sport tests both endurance and marksmanship, as competitors transition between skiing and shooting under physical exertion. The events vary in distance, and competitors are timed, often with penalties for missed targets affecting their overall race time. Biathlon is included in the Winter Olympic Games and has gained popularity for its unique blend of athletic skills.
