Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. It originated from military exercises and has evolved into a competitive event in which participants race over a designated distance while stopping at shooting ranges to shoot at targets. Biathletes must exhibit both endurance through skiing and precision in shooting, as they often ski at high speeds before attempting to hit targets. The sport comprises various formats, including individual races, sprints, and relays, with athletes competing in both the standing and prone shooting positions. Biathlon is featured in the Winter Olympic Games and is popular in various countries, particularly in Europe.
