Description
Discover biathlon alongside professionals and learn the techniques of Olympic-style shooting with air rifles. Participants take their positions at different shooting stations and aim to hit five targets located 10 metres away as quickly as possible.
But every missed target comes with a penalty! Teams must complete a short course as quickly as possible, adding an extra challenge to the competition. Focus and breathing control become essential to stay ahead.
Several rounds gradually increase the difficulty: prone shooting, standing shooting and breathless shooting. During the final challenge, participants complete a course on foot or snowshoes before reaching the shooting station. They must then regain their composure and control their breathing to hit the target.
