Biathlon (Paralympic)
Whistler Olympic Park
Biathlon was first introduced in the 1988 Paralympic Winter Games in Innsbruck, Austria.
The shooting system has changed considerably since then when, at the 2002 Paralympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, a new electronic and acoustic system was developed. In both biathlon and cross-country skiing, athletes are categorized as standing, sitting or visually impaired and compete against athletes with similar disabilities.
