Biathlon combines the disciplines of cross country skiing and rifle shooting. It traces its' origins to the Military Ski Patrol which was held as a demonstration event in the 1924 (and subsequently granted full medal status in 2006), 1928 (winners: Norway 3:50:47), 1936 (winners: Italy 2:28:35) & 1948 (winners: Switzerland 2:34:25) Games. Races are held on a "time trial" basis except for mass start events, relays (which also have a mass start) and the second leg of pursuits (in which competitors start at timed intervals based on their performance in the first leg).
