  • Biathlon - Overview Biathlon Is One of the Most Challenging Winter Games Which Gives Thrilling Experience in Chilled Winter
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Biathlon - Overview Biathlon is one of the most challenging winter games which gives thrilling experience in chilled winter. This winter sport is a mixture of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Biathlon is difficult to play because here the athletes participating in a cross country skiing race are distracted by frequent stops to shoot at sequence of targets. Biathlon is a combination of five events − individual, sprint, pursuit, relay, and mass start. In this game, the athletes compete in cross country skiing and shoot series of targets from a distance. The athletes need to be fast, focussed, and have more stamina. Every time the target is missed the biathlete either gets an additional time or distance penalty. It is important that the skier is fast enough to maintain the competition but should be slow enough to maintain control. In this game the athletes carry a rifle and shoot the target from the distance of 50m. A Little History of Biathlon THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Biathlon has its roots in Norway where the people used it as training for the military. One of the World’s first ever known ski club was formed in Norway in 1861. In 1924 the combination of skiing and shooting made its way to the Winter Olympics. It was then demonstrated in 1928, 1936 and 1948 but failed to regain Olympic competition back then. In mid 1950s biathlon was introduced into the Soviet and Swedish winter sport circuits and was enjoyed by the mass.

    HOW SHOULD WE SCORE ATHLETES AND CANDIDATES: GEOMETRIC SCORING RULES ALEKSEI Y. KONDRATEV, EGOR IANOVSKI, AND ALEXANDER S. NESTEROV Abstract. We study how to rank candidates based on individual rankings via scoring rules. Each position in each individual ranking is worth a certain number of points; the total sum of points determines the aggregate ranking. Our selection principle is consistency: once one of the candidates is removed, we want the aggregate ranking to remain intact. This principle is crucial whenever the set of the candidates might change and the remaining ranking guides our actions: whom should we interview if our first choice got a better offer? Who gets the cup once the previous winner is convicted of doping? Which movie should a group watch if everyone already saw the recommender system’s first choice? Will adding a spoiler candidate rig the election? Unfortunately, no scoring rule is completely consistent, but there are weaker notions of consistency we can use. There are scoring rules which are consistent if we add or remove a unanimous winner – such as an athlete with suspiciously strong results. Likewise, consistent for removing or adding a unanimous loser – such as a spoiler candidate in an election. While extremely permissive individually, together these two criteria pin down a one-parameter family with the scores 0; 1; 1 + p; 1 + p + p2;:::. These geometric scoring rules include Borda count, generalised plurality (medal count), and generalised antiplurality (threshold rule) as edge cases, and we provide elegant new axiomatisations of these rules. Finally, we demonstrate how the one-parameter formulation can simplify the selection of suitable scoring rules for particular scenarios.
