Biathlon World Championships
Let an agent describe the Biathlon World Championships, their format, history and champions from official sources, and route current edition information to the federation.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
