BIATHLON
The name of the sports discipline comes from two Latin words “twice” and “struggle”, therefore biathlon was originally called the modern winter biathlon. Includes ski race and rifle shooting at several firing lines.The first race, vaguely reminiscent of biathlon, was organized by the border guards on the Swedish-Norwegian border back in 1767. In the 19th century in Norway, biathlon was formed as a sport for soldiers. The progenitor of modern biathlon, the competition of military patrols, was presented at Olympic Games in 1924, 1928, 1936 and 1948.
Within the framework of the III Winter Military World Games, competitions will be held in the following types: sprint (7.5 km for women, 10 km for men), mixed relay (6 km for women and 7.5 km for men) and patrol race (15 km for women, 20 km for men).
patrol race – modern look competitions of military patrols (race, which is the ancestor of biathlon). It is a 20 km race for men and 15 km for women, with three firing lines. Each participating country can enter two patrols (male and female).
The team consists of four athletes - biathletes and skiers. One of the team members is the leader of the patrol, three are members of the patrol, each of whom fires from a prone position and fires one shot at the center of his installation. In case of misses - penalty loops according to the number of team misses according to IBU rules.
Sprint- a type of biathlon race for 10 km for men and 7.5 km for women with two firing lines. Biathletes start at intervals of 30 seconds. After the first round, shooting from a prone position is performed, after the second - standing. Biathletes themselves choose firing positions on the shooting range for shooting. For each miss, a penalty loop of 150 m is provided.
mixed relay – team competition in biathlon. The team consists of four athletes (two women and two men). Each biathlete completes one stage, which is 6 km for women and 7.5 km for men, with two firing lines.
One representative from each country starts at the same time and, having run their stage, they pass the baton to the next biathlete from their team. Women go first, then men. There are two shootings at each stage: the first one is lying down, the second one is standing. The athlete has three spare cartridges for each shooting. If the biathlete uses up spare cartridges, then for each subsequent miss, a penalty loop of 150 m is provided.
