Welcome Outside readers!


Biathlon typifies the true essence of sport: the perfect confluence of mind, movement and endurance. It is a beautiful paradox and success is elusive: it requires balancing contradictory demands of the most physically demanding sport of cross country skiing with the calm measured composure and precision needed to shoot quickly and accurately. The true drama unfolds on the shooting range. With their hearts pounding three times per second, athletes struggle to control their breathing as they shoot, knowing that every shot and the number of seconds lost taking those shots will determine who stands atop the podium that day. It is this drama, along with the exciting broadcast of the sport that make biathlon the top rated winter sport with over 700 million viewers annually.
