Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes compete in a race format where they ski a designated distance, interspersed with shooting rounds at targets. The shooting is typically done in two positions: prone (lying down) and standing. Competitors must hit a certain number of targets during the shooting phases, and penalties for missed shots can include additional distance to ski or time added to their final score. Biathlon requires a unique blend of endurance, precision, and skill, as athletes must maintain physical performance while managing the precision needed in shooting. It is a popular sport, especially in countries with strong winter sports traditions, and is featured in events like the Winter Olympics and World Championships.
