What is biathlon?

Everyone (or almost) knows Martin Fourcade. A true international star, he has won numerous medals in the World Championship as well as at the Olympic Games.

From seeing it on television, even children know that biathlon combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting.

What is less known is all the complexity of stringing together a cross-country ski race with a full freediving session to allow the shooter to hit his target.
