In Olympic biathlon, athletes shoot at targets that are 50 meters away.

A couple of quick extra details for context:

  • The shooting distance is always 50 m for all standard Olympic biathlon events.
  • There are five targets in a row at each shooting bout, and athletes must hit each one once.
  • The target sizes differ by position: prone targets are about 45 mm across, while standing targets are about 115 mm.
