Biathlon is the combined sport of Nordic (Cross-country) Skiing and rifle-shooting. Shooting can be with .22 calibre live ammunition, .177″ air-pellets or with electronic rifles, while skiing is practiced both on traditional (narrow!) snow skis and on roller-skis. Adaptive skiers may use a sit-ski frame and Visually Impaired skiers utilise a guide and simple communication technology.
The sport of biathlon is rooted in military origins and is difficult to master; highly suitable for military veterans, while Emergency Services such as Police, Firefighters and Paramedics often endure similar health predispositions as those quoted above. Veterans & Emergency Services Parabiathlon Australia was conceived and registered as a wellbeing vehicle for members and their families to provide an opportunity to take part in and/or master an incredibly challenging sport.
