    Soldiers representing Montana and Minnesota race up the so-called "wall," a steep hill at the Soldier Hollow, Utah, cross-country course on 26 Feb. 2018. At an elevation equal to that of the notorious Hindu Kush in northern Afghanistan, the 2018 Chief National Guard Bureau Biathlon Championships poses a unique challenge to competitors.

    Two cross-country skiers are competing in a biathlon or Nordic skiing race at Soldier Hollow, a venue in Utah. The lead skier wears bib number 70 with a red, white, and blue suit and Rossignol equipment, carrying a rifle on his back indicating biathlon. Snow-covered mountains and the Soldier Hollow venue infrastructure are visible in the background.
    A biathlon competition is underway at a snow-covered outdoor venue. Multiple athletes are visible simultaneously — some in the prone shooting position at numbered firing lanes, while others are actively cross-country skiing toward the range. The scene captures the dual nature of biathlon, combining rifle marksmanship with Nordic skiing.
    A biathlon competitor is shown in the shooting range, actively firing a rifle with a spent cartridge casing visibly ejecting from the weapon. The athlete is wearing a blue, red, and white competition suit with 'MONTANA' text visible, a white hat, and black LEKI gloves. The background shows a snowy biathlon range with yellow target markers in soft focus.
    Two biathlon competitors are at a shooting range station, aiming their rifles in a standing position during what appears to be a competitive biathlon event. The athletes are on skis and positioned at numbered lanes on a snow-covered range. The setting is an outdoor winter venue with bare trees visible in the background.
    A biathlete is in the prone shooting position on a black mat, aiming a rifle downrange at a biathlon shooting range. The athlete is wearing a green and blue race suit with a Swix hat and blue gloves, using an Anschütz rifle with a 'Nordic Marksman' label visible. Additional competitors and numbered lane markers (2, 3, 4, 5) are visible in the background.
    A competitive cross-country skiing or biathlon race is underway on a snow-covered course. Two central athletes wearing matching white and yellow skin suits with rifle packs on their backs are in a tucked aerodynamic position, suggesting a downhill section. A snow-covered mountain ridge forms the backdrop under an overcast sky.
    A biathlon competition is underway with four foreground athletes skiing on a snow-covered course. All four visible competitors wear bib number 5 in different colored vests (red, yellow/white, green, and blue), suggesting this may be a relay race where the same bib number is shared across team members. Additional skiers are visible in the background on what appears to be a well-organized race venue.
