Biathlon

Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes compete in a race format that typically involves skiing a set distance, stopping at designated points to shoot at targets with a rifle. The combination of endurance and precision makes biathlon a unique and challenging sport, as competitors must manage their physical exertion while also controlling their breathing and focus during shooting. Biathlon events are often held in various formats, including sprint, pursuit, individual, and relay races, and are a popular feature in the Winter Olympics.
