Biathalon

Biathalon is a sport involving speed, accuracy, and balance. The equipment you need for this sport are skies, poles, a suit, and a .22 caliber ammunition rifle. To play biathalon, you must cross country ski around a course. After each lap, the competitor must lie down on their belly. They try to use the rifle to shoot a little target. The distance between the firing line and the target is 50 meters. They get 5 shots per lap. If they hit the target every time, they do not have to ski a penalty lap, but if they miss, for example, they must ski a peanalty lap. Olympic Biathlon Athletes
