  • 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.

  • Magdalena Neuners Biathlon-Comeback Auf Schalke
    Ressort: Sport Magdalena Neuners Biathlon-Comeback auf Schalke Neuner bei World Team Challenge Gelsenkirchen, 22.10.2014, 00:05 Uhr GDN - Nach ihrem Abschiedsrennen bei der Biathlon World Team Challenge 2012 in Gelsenkirchen feiert Magdalena Neuner am 27. Dezember ein “Comeback“ auf Schalke. Allerdings nicht mehr als aktive Biathletin, sondern als Moderatorin der World Team Challenge. 2012 zog sich die Wallgauerin aus dem Leistungssport zurück. Seit der Geburt ihrer Tochter im vergangenen Frühjahr blühen die Spekulationen über den weiteren Karriereweg der 27-jährigen. Wird sie Trainerin? Journalistin? Oder bleibt sie Hausfrau und Mutter? Das Rätselraten hat ein Ende: Magdalena Neuner wird künftig wieder vor einem Millionenpublikum an den Start gehen. Zwar nicht wie von vielen erhofft als aktive Sportlerin, dafür aber als sympathische und fachkundige Moderatorin. Für ihre Feuertaufe beim eiskalten Spektakel übernimmt Magdalena Neuner die Co-Moderation der diesjährigen Biathlon World Team Challenge in der VELTINS-Arena. An der Seite von Herbert Fritzenwenger wird sie die Zuschauer mit ihrem Fachwissen und Hintergrundinformationen während der spannenden Rennen begleiten. “Ich freue mich wahnsinnig auf das Wiedersehen mit meinen Fans auf Schalke. Der Abschied hier vor zwei Jahren war ein unglaublich emotionaler und bewegender Moment“, schwärmt “Lena“. “Die Erinnerung an die Atmosphäre in der Arena verursacht bei mir immer noch eine Gänsehaut“. “Magdalena wird mit ihrem persönlichen sportlichen Background und dem unglaublich sympathischen Wesen das Publikum als Moderatorin nicht nur bei der Biathlon-WTC begeistern. Dessen bin ich mir absolut sicher“, betont Cheforganisator und Kommentator Herbert Fritzenwenger. “Ich freue mich wahnsinnig darauf, gemeinsam mit Lena den Biathlon auf Schalke zu kommentieren“. Die World Team Challenge in der Schalke-Arena wird auch in diesem Jahr wieder viele prominente Sportler am Start sehen.
