CONT

Le biathlon combine le ski de fond et le tir à la carabine, mais le parabiathlon diffère du biathlon olympique parce que les skieurs peuvent toujours tirer d'une position couchée.

OBS

para biathlon : L'élément «para» est parfois employé comme qualificatif devant un nom pour désigner un sport pratiqué par une personne en situation de handicap. Cet emploi est déconseillé, car il ne respecte pas les règles de syntaxe du français. Il convient plutôt d'employer l'élément «para-» en tant que préfixe, c'est-à-dire soudé au mot avec lequel il forme un terme.
