A female biathlete, bib number 34, wearing a white headband, red and blue racing suit, and ski goggles, has just started a race, judging by the "START" sign. She propels herself forward with ski poles on a well-groomed snow track on a bright, sunny day. Two people stand near the start line: a man in a dark jacket and a woman in a yellow jacket. Another competitor, bib number 39, stands behind the starting area. A camera tripod is positioned on the left of the frame. In the background, there are bare trees, a snow-covered hill, and a small structure. A sign with Russian text is visible to the right of the starting point. The sound of a starting horn is audible.
