About this episode
This episode provides an introduction to biathlon in anticipation of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
In the run-up to the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, this bite-sized episode will give you the basics of biathlon - how it works, the different race formats, just how far away those targets actually are - as well as some history of the sport. It also features my first ever memories of biathlon (which may not be what you expect...).
