Biathlon is a winter competition that blends cross-country skiing and shooting into one event. The athletes compete by skiing on a snow-covered course and stopping to take shots at designated targets with a rifle. This shooting alternates between standing and lying positions and requires a certain accuracy since missed shots often imply additional time or penalty laps. The aim is to complete the entire course while taking into account speed and balanced concentration to deliver effective shots. Biathlon tests endurance, precision, and control under physical strain.
