That Olympic event is called the biathlon.
Actually, in the Olympic biathlon, athletes cross-country ski and then shoot a rifle at a target. There is a variation of the biathlon called the Archery biathlon where the athletes cross-country ski and then use a bow and arrow to shoot at a target, but although it is popular in certain countries (especially Canada and Russia), it is not an Olympic event.
The Olympic flags are usually given to the country who hosts the event.
