Racers wrapped up a weekend of skiing and shooting Sunday at the IBU World Cup Biathlon at the Soldier Hollow Nordic Center in Midway, Utah.

Johannes Thingness Boe of Norway took first in the men’s 12.5K pursuit race, while Lou Jeanmonnot of France won the women’s 10K pursuit race.

Biathlon is a sport that pairs cross-country skiing with rifle shooting. It inspires thousands of social media posts each time it appears during a Winter Olympics broadcast.
