What is a biathlon?

We talk about biathlon but do you know this sport?
Biathlon comes from the Greek word which originally meant: “2 events”. and this is now the name of a sport that mixes two practices. Cross-country skiing and riffle shooting. A sport requiring both endurance for cross-country skiing and calm and skill for rifle shooting.
