The sport
Biathlon mixes cross-country skiing with rifle shooting. You race round a loop, come into the range out of breath, and shoot at five targets. Each miss means skiing a 150 m penalty loop in a sprint race, so a calm heart matters as much as fast legs.

0 / 5Your sight wobbles like it does after a hard lap. Tap the range, or press Space, when it's over the black. Hits flip white, like the real targets.
Prone: smaller hit zone, steadier aim.
