Biathlon GETTING KNOCKED UP a significant decrease in speed on the track, which leads to a serious deterioration in the final result of the athlete or team. Success in biathlon mainly depends on two components: accurate shooting and fast running at a distance. If a biathlete shows one thing, then he can take a good position in the race, but he is unlikely to be the first. A significant decrease in speed most often occurs on the last lap of the race. During this part of the race, many athletes are already beginning to lack physical fitness. For some biathletes, even without this, the speed of passing the distance is reduced, and over the course of the race it decreases even more. This can lead to a serious loss with your feet. For example, one biathlete passed all the milestones without missing a beat, but on the last lap he significantly slowed down.
