The 2026 Winter Olympics will have a packed biathlon schedule featuring eleven competitions across thirteen days. Competitors from various nations will take part in multiple races aimed at showcasing their skills in both skiing and shooting. The games will kick off with a Mixed Relay, where teams comprised of two men and two women from each nation will race.

The first scheduled event is set for the 8th of February, featuring the Mixed Relay, followed by individual races for both men and women, leading up to sprints and pursuit competitions. This structure allows biathletes to compete in various formats, emphasizing not only their endurance but also precision, as they switch between skiing and shooting.

Interestingly, all biathlon events will be hosted in Antholz, which is nearly 400 kilometers away from Milan. This geographical separation highlights the logistical challenges of hosting the Winter Olympics and raises questions about accessibility for fans and support staff, ultimately playing into the broader narrative of organizing large-scale international sporting events.
