Biathlon is a winter sport that combines two disciplines: cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes compete in a race format where they ski a certain distance and, at designated points, stop to shoot at targets while using a small-caliber rifle. The event tests both physical endurance and marksmanship skills, as competitors must manage their heart rate and breathing to shoot accurately after intense exertion.
