Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes ski a set distance, typically in a loop, and at designated points, they stop to shoot at targets, using a .22 caliber rifle. The shooting portion consists of both prone and standing positions, with penalties for missed shots that can involve extra distance skied. The race is won by the competitor who completes the course in the shortest time, accounting for both skiing and shooting accuracy.
