Veronika Major (born 19 March 1997) is a Hungarian sports shooter. [1] She competed in the women's 10 metre air pistol event at the 2020 Summer Olympics. [2]
As a Junior, Major was successful in Running Target Air Rifle shooting, winning medals at three world championships and becoming Junior Women's World Champion in 2014 and 2016. [3] [4]
In 2019 she became European Champion in 50m Running Target mixed. [5]
As Running Target is not an Olympic discipline, she switched to Olympic pistol events as a senior, winning gold medals in both 10m Air Pistol and 25m Sport Pistol during the 2019 ISSF World Cup series. [6]
In 2022 she again performed strongly, winning Silver medals in 25m Sport Pistol at the 2022 ISSF World Cup matches in Baku and Cairo.
This run of performance continued into 2023 with three gold medals in Rio de Janeiro and Cairo for both 25m pistol and 10m air pistol. [7]
In September 2023, Major won the Hungarian national championship in 25 metre pistol. [8]
