Biathlon is a competitive winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes navigate a course on skis and must stop at designated shooting ranges to shoot at targets using a .22 caliber rifle. Biathlon events typically consist of multiple laps of skiing interspersed with shooting bouts, where competitors shoot both in a prone and standing position. The sport requires a unique blend of physical endurance, speed, precision, and mental focus, as athletes must maintain their performance while managing the challenges of shooting accurately after intense physical exertion. Biathlon is featured in the Winter Olympics and other international competitions, showcasing the skills and versatility of its participants.
