🏔️ Imagine gliding through snowy terrains at top speed, then calming your breath to hit a tiny target 50 meters away! Welcome to the thrilling world of biathlon 🏅, the ultimate test of speed, endurance, and precision.
Biathlon brings together the heart-pumping action of cross-country skiing and the focus of rifle shooting. It's believed to have roots in ancient ski hunting traditions 🎯, transforming over time into the exciting sport we know today. While it officially joined the Olympic family at the 1960 Squaw Valley Games, an earlier version called \"military patrol\" had already made appearances in four Olympics.

- Men's 10km Sprint
- Men's 4×7.5km Relay
- Women's 7.5 km Sprint
- Women's 4x6km Relay
Whether you're a sports enthusiast or just love a good adrenaline rush, these events are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat! So gear up and join us in celebrating the amazing athletes pushing their limits in this spectacular sport. ❄️🔥
