Biathlon

Biathlon is a winter sport that combines two disciplines: cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes compete in a race where they ski a predetermined distance, interspersed with shooting rounds at targets. The sport tests both endurance and precision, as competitors must manage their physical exertion while keeping their shooting accuracy high under varying conditions. Biathlon events can vary in distance and shooting format, with both individual and team competitions included in the Olympic program. The combination of high-intensity skiing and the focused concentration required for marksmanship makes biathlon a unique and challenging sport.
