Le Biathlon D'été Le Biathlon d’été Avant tout, le Biathlon c’est quoi ? Épreuve de ski nordique comprenant une épreuve de fond et une épreuve de tir au fusil. Les origines du biathlon sont essentiellement militaires, cette pratique était un moyen de défense rapide pour les populations nordiques autochtones face aux invasions barbares dès le début de l’ère des vikings. Durant le moyen-âge, elle sera également utilisée comme moyen de chasse. Puis en 1924, cette discipline intègre en tant qu’épreuve militaire les premiers jeux d’hiver de Chamonix. Ce n’est qu’en 1960 au JO de Squaw Valley (USA) qu’elle devient pour la première fois épreuve Olympique. Contexte et acteur : Aujourd’hui ce sport est en plein essor, notamment ces dernières années grâce à son exposition médiatique. Mais l’engouement populaire de celui-ci n’est pas dû exclusivement à sa médiatisation. Les résultats obtenus sur les différentes épreuves mondiales et olympiques pas nos athlètes Françaises et Français l’ont également propulsé sous les feux de la rampe avec Martin Fourcade champion du Monde et Olympique en titre ; Marie Dorin- Habert, Anaîs Bescond, Simon Desthieux, Martin Fourcade champion olympique en titre sur le relais mixte ; mais aussi le reste de notre talentueuse équipe de France : Antonin Guigonnat, Quentin Fillon-Maillet, Emilien Jacquelin, Simon Fourcade, Aristide Bégue, Justine Braizaz, Celia Aymonier, Anaîs Chevalier, Julia Simon, Marion Latuillière. Le Biathlon Running Fort de ce constat, plusieurs associations ont eu le désir de développer ce sport dans notre belle région Vendéenne. Seulement, le biathlon c’est le tir mais également du ski ! Comme vous le savez, la neige n’est pas monnaie courante dans notre département nous avons donc remplacé la paire de ski par une bonne paire de chaussures de running. Matériels et moyens humains : Sont assurés, un chronométrage par puce électronique qui se fixe sur le doigt. Le matériel de tir est fourni. Celui-ci s’effectue par carabine laser. Le pas de tir est clairement délimité, les cibles sont installées sur des supports métalliques. Objectif : Nous souhaitons par la création de cet événement, donner la possibilité à tous les sportifs locaux ou estivants de pouvoir pratiquer un sport innovant et ludique dans le beau cadre du bord de mer à Sion sur Saint Hilaire de riez. Biathlon running : pour cette année, limité en équipement (carabines et puces) nous avons défini comme objectifs, 50 participants pour chaque manche qualificative (3) et la finale soit un total de 150 inscriptions sur l’ensemble de la matinée du samedi 6 juillet 2019. Concept : course individuelle, départ contre la montre pour 4,5 km à pied par épreuve (3 boucles de 1.5 km avec 2 tirs couchés), si pénalité – 1 tour de 100 m par cible manquée, 2 épreuves à cumuler. Départ échelonné (toutes les 15 secondes) – manche de classement pour départ de la poursuite. Biathlon orientation Nous pensons que les différences de niveau entre les participants ne doivent pas être un obstacle et que chacun peut s’épanouir durant cet événement. C’est pour cela que nous mettons en place un biathlon réservé aux familles et aux enfants au cour duquel l’aspect ludique prime sur la forme de la compétition Voici le concept en détail : Le principe est simple, le participant entre dans un labyrinthe dans lequel il doit retrouver et poinçonner dans un ordre défini des balises. Une fois toutes les balises validées, celui- ci se rend sur le pas de tir pour « blanchir » ses 5 cibles. Soit il réussit le 5/5 et il se dirige directement à l’arrivée. Soit il ne réalise pas le sans faute et il se dirige vers l’anneau de pénalité afin de faire le nombre de tours correspondant aux nombres de cibles manquées. Celui qui fait le meilleur temps gagne! Nous pourrons accueillir maximum 200 personnes dans la matinée du dimanche 7 juillet 2019. .

  • 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.

    Y.E.A.H. - Young Europeans Active and Healthy OLYMPIC GAMES SOCHI February 07 - 23, 2014 HOT. COOL. YOURS. option for whitelisted athletes to compete independently during the 2018 Winter Olympics . The 2014 Winter Olympics, officially called the XXII Olympic Winter Games (Russian: Olimpiyskiye zimniye igry ) and commonly known as Sochi 2014, were held from 7 to 23 February 2014 in Sochi , Krasnodar Krai , Russia, with opening rounds in certain events held on the eve of the opening ceremony , 6 February 2014. Sochi was selected as the host city in July 2007, during the 119th IOC Session held in Guatemala City . It was the first Olympics in Russia since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Soviet Union was previously the host nation for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow . A total of 98 events in fifteen winter sport disciplines were held during the Games. A number of new competitions—a total of twelve ac- counting for gender—were held during the Games, including biathlon mixed relay, women's ski jumping , mixed-team figure skating , mixed-team luge , half- pipe skiing, ski and snowboard slopestyle , and snowboard parallel slalom . The events were held around two clusters of new venues: an Olympic Park constructed in Sochi's Imeretinsky Valley on the coast of the Black Sea , with Fisht Olympic Stadium , and the Games' indoor venues located within walking distance, and snow events in the resort settlement of Krasnaya Polyana . The 2014 Winter Olympics were the most expensive Olympics in history. While origi- nally budgeted at US$12 billion, various factors caused the budget to expand to US$51 billion, which is more than three times the cost of the Olympics in London and surpassing the estimated $44 billion cost of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
