Isidro Lorenzo González (born 8 March 1958 in Villadepera, Zamora) is a Spanish sport shooter.[1] He was selected to compete for Spain as a 46-year-old at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and eventually won a bronze medal in free pistol shooting at the 2006 ISSF World Cup meet in Guangzhou, China.[2] Lorenzo also trains under head coach Cezary Staniszewski for twelve years as a full-fledged member of the Spanish pistol shooting team.[2] [3]
Lorenzo qualified for the Spanish team, as one of the oldest athletes (aged 46), in pistol shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He managed to get a minimum qualifying score of 560 to gain an Olympic quota place for Spain in the free pistol, following his outside-final finish at the ISSF World Cup meet in Zagreb, Croatia one year earlier.[2] [4] [5] Lorenzo got off to a shaky start on the first day of the Games by placing further down at a distant forty-second in the 10 m air pistol with a total of 565, bettering just five points from his entry standard.[6] [7] Three days after an unsteady air pistol feat, Lorenzo nailed a fantastic, fifth-seeded score at 562 to reach the eight-man final in the 50 m pistol, before eventually dropping to last with the lowest score of the field at 90.0 for a total of 652.0 points.[8] [9]
