The biathlon skiing program at the 1994 Winter Olympics consisted of two species and was held from February 18-24 . The competition was attended by 53 athletes from 16 countries.
The victory of the Japanese national team with a 5-minute advantage forced the International Ski Federation to change the rules for team competitions - the relay race was carried out in the 4 × 5 km format rather than 3 × 10 km in order to reduce the effect of ski jumping on the final result.
