In biathlon, competitors alternate between skiing and shooting at targets from both a standing and prone position. Competitors take part in races ranging from 7.5km to 20km long, all while lugging a 3.5kg rifle and ammunition. Some feature all of the competitors starting at the same time, others stagger the competitors based upon their qualifying times from earlier races.
Each biathlon event is set to be live streamed from the Zhangjiakou National Biathlon Center, located 180km northwest of Beijing. Norway and Germany have by far the most medals in biathlon at the Winter Olympics. Watch out for Tiril Eckhoff from Norway – who possesses the most Olympic biathlon medals (five) of any currently active female competitor – and fellow Norwegian Sutrla Holm, who won four gold medals at the 2021 Biathlon World Championships.
The Winter Olympics biathlon takes place from February 5–19. Below you'll find all the information on how to watch a biathlon live stream from the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, wherever you are in the world.

Watch a biathlon live stream with a VPN
There are so many events going on at the Winter Olympics that not every country's TV and streaming coverage shows every discipline. If you can't get the biathlon where you are, then you can use a VPN to tune into a live stream from another country – something you might need to do if travelling abroad.
By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home in the same country as the streaming service that you're trying to access. That way you can enjoy your home coverage without having to find an illegal stream - assuming you comply with the broadcaster's fine print, of course.
