Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes compete in a race format that requires them to ski a specified distance, during which they must stop at designated shooting ranges to shoot at targets using a rifle. Success in biathlon relies on both physical endurance and precision marksmanship, as athletes must quickly transition from skiing to shooting while managing their breath and heart rate. The sport has various race formats, including sprints, pursuits, and mass starts, and is featured in events like the Winter Olympics and World Championships. Biathlon originated from military training exercises in Scandinavia and has evolved into a competitive sporting event with a dedicated following.
