Biathlon

Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes compete by skiing a set distance, which can vary depending on the specific race format, and at designated points, they must stop to shoot at targets. The shooting component typically involves targets at varying distances, and athletes switch between different positions, such as prone and standing. Successful biathlon competitors must possess both endurance and precision, as their skiing speed affects their shooting performance, and vice versa. The sport is featured in the Winter Olympics and other international competitions, showcasing the skill involved in seamlessly transitioning between skiing and shooting.
