Called military patrol , the combination of skiing and shooting was contested at the Olympic Winter Games in , and then demonstrated in , and , but did not regain Olympic recognition then, as the small number of competing countries disagreed on the rules (see also Governing body, below). During the mid-1950s, however, biathlon was introduced into the Russian and Swedish winter sport circuits and was widely enjoyed by the public.

Browse SHOP Log In Search Site: biathlon athletic event Main winter sport combining cross-country skiing with rifle marksmanship. The sport is rooted in the skiing traditions of Scandinavia, where early inhabitants revered the Norse god Ull Skadi Second Northern War The growth of the sport was aided by its inclusion as a demonstration event at the first Winter Olympics International biathlon competition has been dominated by northern Europeans over the years, particularly by athletes from Russia, Finland, Germany, and Norway. Canadian is the only non-European ever to capture a world or Olympic biathlon title. In biathlon events competitors cover a cross-country course, carrying a specially designed 5.6-mm (.22-calibre) rifle. Either classical or freestyle (skating) techniques can be used in biathlon competitions. At intervals competitors stop at firing ranges to shoot at five targets located 50 metres (164 feet) away. In most races competitors are required to shoot from both standing and prone (lying on the stomach) positions. The target size varies according to position, with standing shooters aiming at an 11.5-cm (4.5-inch) target and prone contestants shooting at a 4.5-cm (1.8-inch) target. Pursuit, relay, mass start, and team events are all race-to-the-finish competitions and require penalty loops for missed shots. Pursuit races (12.5 km [7.8 miles] for men; 10 km [6.2 miles] for women) use interval starts based on the results of a previous race, whereas relay, mass start, and team events require all competitors to start at the same time. In relay events team members ski and shoot one at a time; in team events the entire team skis and shoots together.
