The first Biathlon World Championships (BWCH) was held in 1958, with individual and team contests for men. The original team event, Team (time), was held for the last time in 1965, to be replaced in 1966 by the team event, Relay (4 × 7.5 km), which we know today. The number of events has grown significantly over the years. Beginning in 1984, women biathletes had their own World Championships, and finally, from 1989, both genders have been participating in joint Biathlon World Championships. In 1978 the development was enhanced by the change from the large army rifle calibre to a small bore rifle, while the range to the target was reduced from 150 to 50 meters.^[1]

The original individual event, Individual (20 km), is the only event that has been held since the start in 1958. Biathlon legend Martin Fourcade (France) is the all-time greatest in this discipline (for both men & women), with a record 4 wins.

The original team event, Team (time), was held for the last time in 1965, to be replaced in 1966 by the team event, Relay (4 x 7,5 km.), which we know today.

Venues

The Biathlon World Championships of the season takes place during February or March. Some years it has been necessary to schedule parts of the Championships at other than the main venue because of weather and/or snow conditions. Full, joint Biathlon World Championships have never been held in Olympic Winter Games seasons. Biathlon World Championships in non-IOC events, however, have been held in Olympic seasons. In 2005, the then new event of Mixed Relay (two legs done by women, two legs by men) was arranged separately from the ordinary Championships.

• Johannes Thingnes Bø (Norway) is 2nd overall, but he has won most of his gold medals as part of relay teams.

• As also 5 of the other biathletes in Top 10 did.

• Eirik Kvalfoss (Norway) is nowhere near a Top 10 overall, because he won no Relay gold medals (which is unsuall for a Norwegian), and therefore doesn´t make an overall top 10 despite winning 3 gold medals as an individual.

• Quentin Fillon Maillet would be relaivly high on this list, if it included biathletes with no individual victories, as he has won 3 gold medals and in total 12 medals but all of his 3 gold medals are from Relay events.
