Biathlon is a multisport discipline that involves running and swimming over various distances for the different age groups. (See table for age groups and distances.) These two separate disciplines take place at different times on the same day. All athletes will first run their event on the track and after ALL the running numbers have been completed all athletes will swim their events in either a 25m or 50m pool.
