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&nbsp;km). 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.olympic.org/news/biathlon-a-sport-on-the-cutting-edge|title=Biathlon: a sport on the cutting edge|date=23 February 2015|publisher=International Olympic Committee|access-date=16 December 2018}}</ref>

==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 [[Winter Olympic Games|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.

===Mixed relay===
This event was first held in 2005, at the [[Biathlon World Cup]] finals in [[Khanty-Mansiysk]]. In 2005–20, the women biathletes did the first two legs and the men did the following two (except 2006 when sequence was woman–man–woman–man), the women's ski legs were 6&nbsp;km each while men ski legs were 7.5&nbsp;km each (except 2005, 2006 and 2020 when ski legs were 6&nbsp;km each for all relay members). In [[Biathlon World Championships 2021|2021]], the starting gender became the result of an alternation: for the first time, men opened the relay and women closed it. Since then, this sequence alternates for each following edition. The distance skied became the same for all genders and depending on the one running the first leg (7.5&nbsp;km if men run first, 6&nbsp;km if women do), but in 2024 it became 6&nbsp;km for every relay member no matter who runs first leg.

This event was first held in 2019. Each team consists of two members - man and woman. The first of the team members runs the first and third legs (3&nbsp;km each), the other team member – the second and fourth legs (3&nbsp;km and 4.5&nbsp;km respectively). In 2019 and 2020 the women biathletes started single mixed relay and the men biathletes finished it, but in 2021 this order was reversed. Since then, this order alternates for each following edition.
