Camber: This is the amount of arch built into a ski. This flatter profile allows the athlete to push off the ski edge much more efficiently.

Grinds: High end skis come with a base structure already ground into the ski base, to improve glide performance. Our coaches can assess the base of your skis to determine if a base grind would be helpful.

We usually get grinds done before the start of the competition season. Hot Box: new skis need to get wax driven deep into the base.

A bit of good news here — skate ski waxing is pretty straight forward as one only needs glide wax and the entire base of the ski is glide waxed.

Yup, the boots are different too! The boots are taller to support the ankle and provide the athlete with superb control on the ski.

When sizing, make sure the boots are not too tight and have room for good thermal socks or you will get very cold feet at the range. Yes, you need special bindings for skate skis.

There are changes afoot with Salomon, so their system might be changing in the near future. Make sure the bindings match the boots — these are not interchangeable systems.

The bindings help keep the ski closer to the boot at all times, and provide much more lateral support. Both systems are excellent and there is as usual a range of options and prices.

The more expensive bindings will be lighter weight and lower profile. The main difference from classic poles is the length — skate poles are quite a bit longer.

The rule of thumb is up to your lips in length when you are on skis. Otherwise, pretty much the same as classic poles — the more you pay, the lighter and stiffer the pole.

Cheaper poles flex a lot, so you are wasting effort every time you pole. For biathlon, you want to avoid straps that are difficult to get on and off as the athlete is constantly taking poles on and off.

You can purchase special biathlon straps — they are simple straps that are fairly wide at the wrist. These are highly specialized rifles, designed specifically for biathlon.

The first Biathlon World Championship was held in in Austria , and in the sport was finally included in the Olympic Games.

The competitions from to used high-power centerfire cartridges , such as the. In , the International Modern Pentathlon Union was founded, to standardise the rules for the modern pentathlon and, from also biathlon.

The following articles list major international biathlon events and medalists. The complete rules of the biathlon are given in the official IBU rule books.

A biathlon competition consists of a race in which contestants ski through a cross-country trail system whose total distance is divided into either two or four shooting rounds, half in prone position, the other half standing.

The contestant with the shortest total time wins. For each shooting round, the biathlete must hit five targets or receive a penalty for each missed target, which varies according to the competition rules, as follows: [11].

In order to keep track of the contestants' progress and relative standing throughout a race, split times intermediate times are taken at several points along the skiing track and upon finishing each shooting round.

The large display screens commonly set up at biathlon arenas, as well as the information graphics shown as part of the TV picture, will typically list the split time of the fastest contestant at each intermediate point and the times and time differences to the closest runners-up.

In the Olympics, all cross-country skiing techniques are permitted in the biathlon, allowing the use of skate skiing , [12] which is overwhelmingly the choice of competitors.

The rifle has to be carried by the skier during the race at all times. The biathlete carries a small-bore rifle, which must weigh at least 3.

The rifles use. Each rifle holds 4 magazines with 5 rounds each. Additional rounds can be kept on the stock of the rifle for a relay race. There are five circular shooting targets to be hit in each shooting round.

This translates to angular target sizes of about 1 and 2. On all modern biathlon ranges, the targets are self-indicating, in that they flip from black to white when hit, giving the biathlete, as well as the spectators, instant visual feedback for each shot fired.

Ear protection is not required during biathlon shooting as the ammunition used is usually subsonic.

The biathlete shoots four times at any shooting lane Lanes 1 - 15 are in prone while Lanes 16 - 30 are for standing , [15] in the order of prone, standing, prone, standing, totaling 20 targets.

For each missed target a fixed penalty time, usually one minute, is added to the skiing time of the biathlete. Competitors' starts are staggered, normally by 30 seconds.

A variation of the standard individual race, called short individual, was introduced during the —19 Biathlon IBU Cup.

The biathlete shoots twice at any shooting lane, once prone Usually Lanes 1 - 15 and once standing Lanes 16 - 30 , for a total of 10 shots.

As in the individual competition, the biathletes start in intervals. Unlike the traditional sprint race, the Super Sprint is divided into two segments — qualification and final.

The qualification is done like the traditional sprint, but on an 0. During the final the competitors have 3 spare rounds should they miss a target like in relay race , but if not all targets are cleared during shooting instead of going to penalty loop, the biathlete is disqualified from the race.

Also the number of spare rounds was decreased from three to one. In a pursuit, biathletes' starts are separated by their time differences from a previous race, [19] most commonly a sprint.

The contestant crossing the finish line first is the winner. The distance is To prevent awkward or dangerous crowding of the skiing loops, and overcapacity at the shooting range, World Cup Pursuits are held with only the 60 top ranking biathletes after the preceding race.

The biathletes shoot on a first-come, first-served basis at the lane corresponding to the position they arrived for all shooting bouts.

In the mass start, all biathletes start at the same time and the first across the finish line wins.
