NS1 biathletes have a near-total visual impairment. They must compete wearing opaque shades or glasses so that no light can be seen.

They must use a guide who skis in front of the racer giving directions via headset around the course. When shooting, they aim by hearing a tone through headphones. The pitch of the tone raises as their aim nears the target centre.
