Biathle
Sport combining running and swimming
Sport combining running and swimming
Biathle is a sub-sport of modern pentathlon consisting of running and freestyle swimming. The legs are raced with continuous transitions like a triathlon. It is a sport in its own right and bears close resemblance to aquathlon which also contains swimming and running but comes from triathlon. The race length is usually 200 m swim and 3 km run, which is shorter than aquathlon usually is.
Sport
Biathle is a world class sport but not an Olympic one. Competitions are held under rules of the Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM).
Biathle World Championships
The Biathle World Championships have been held in September or October annually since 1999. The first event was held in Monaco, and returned there every two years between 2003 and 2009. Approximately 500 athletes have competed at each edition of the championships, representing some 50 countries.
