Yes, biathlon combines cross country skiing with rifle shooting.
Competitors ski around a cross country ski track and, at designated areas, stop to shoot at five targets 50 meters away. Shooting is done standing and in the prone position and competitors are not allowed to remove their skis. Based on the rules of the event the penalty for a missed shot is either one minute added to the competitor's final time or a lap around a 150 meter track.
