WORLD SCHOOL BIATHLON CHAMPIONSHIP
Competition format
The event consists of two separate disciplines, the Swimming and Running disciplines. The
Swimming discipline is conducted in a 25m or 50m pool and the Running discipline is
conducted preferably on a standardised track (although it can also be carried out on a flat
surface if extra care is taken so that the distances are correct). The times of the athletes are
converted to pentathlon points. The final result is the sum of the points scored in both
events.
