skiing and shooting
The Olympic, and for that matter, any, biathlon, consists of two events. In the case of the Olympics, these two events are cross-country skiing and rifle shooting.
Nordic combined and Biathlon.
Skiing and Shooting
The correct spelling is biathlon instead of biathlon. A biathlon is a contest or sporting event, where two events are combined for athletes to compete in.
Winter olympics need snow or ice for the events. Summer olympics have several outdoor events or ones where competitors wear skimpy clothes, like beach volleyball or swimming. If the two olympics clash, competitors will either freeze to death or collapse in a sea of water (melted ice). Common Sense.
Cross country skiing & rifle shooting.

Biathlon is a term used to describe any sporting event made up of two disciplines. However, biathlon usually refers specifically to the winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Other popular variants include summer biathlon, which combines cross-country running with riflery, modern biathlon and biathle, which combine running with swimming.
