Matej Mészáros (born 26 April 1982 in Bratislava) is a Slovak sport shooter.[1] He was selected to compete for the Slovak team at the 2004 Summer Olympics, finishing ninth in air rifle. Having started the sport since the age of eight, Meszaros trained as a member of the shooting team for the Slovak Republic State Sport Representation Centre of Interior Ministry (Slovak: Stredisko štátnej športovej reprezentácie MV SR) in his native Bratislava under personal coach František Fesco.[2]
Meszaros qualified for the Slovak squad in the men's 10 m air rifle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by having attained a minimum qualifying score of 595 and finishing sixth to secure one of the Olympic slots available from the European Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.[3] [4] Meszaros shot 594 out of 600 points to finish in a seventh-place tie with four other shooters in the qualifying stage, but fell abruptly in a shoot-off for the final round by 100 to 98, dropping him to ninth.[5]
