How Biathlon Works
In a biathlon race, competitors ski a certain distance. Then, they stop at a shooting range. They shoot at targets with a rifle. If they miss a target, they usually have to ski an extra penalty loop. Or, they might have time added to their race. The goal is to be the fastest overall. This means skiing quickly and shooting accurately.
