Men's Biathlon 20km Individual Gold Medal Odds: Eric Perrot Favored to Win Tuesday

The biathlon is one of the most interesting events at the Winter Olympics. It tests an athlete’s endurance as well as their ability to control their body at the shooting range.

The athletes race for a total of 20 kilometers, stopping four times at the shooting range in the process. They must attempt to hit five targets at the range, and face a one-minute penalty for each shot they miss. In a race where every second matters, those penalties can be devastating.

The medal event for the mixed relay took place over the weekend, with France winning by 26 seconds ahead of Italy. They were led by Eric Perrot, who is favored to win the men’s biathlon 20km individual gold medal on Tuesday.
