Biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Athletes participate in a race where they ski a designated distance while periodically stopping to shoot at targets. The sport tests both endurance and marksmanship, as competitors must navigate the physical demands of skiing while maintaining accuracy when shooting.
