It is called the Winter Biatholon. Competitors have to cross country ski around a course stopping at intervals to fire 5 shots (air rifle) at 5 targets, they gain a penalty for missing. Competitor with the shortest time wins.
A biathlon sport is one of the most common sports played in winter Olympics.
That's a good question. I'm a professor of biathalon history at Virginia State University. The coach of the 1968 US national biathalon team was Anthony Nelson. He and his team were the heros of the Olympics that year when he led them in their upset victory over Finland.
