Reinier Estpinan Gómez (born December 5, 1982, in Havana) is a Cuban sport shooter.[1] He earned a silver medal in the men's rifle prone at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and also represented his nation Cuba at the 2004 Summer Olympics.[2] [3]
Estpinan reached at the summit of his sporting career at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where he picked up a silver medal in the men's 50 m rifle prone with a total score of 696.5, finishing behind U.S. sport shooter Tom Tamas by almost a full point.[3] [4]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Estpinan qualified for the Cuban squad in the men's 50 m rifle prone by placing second from the Pan American Games.[3] He scored 581 points to obtain a last spot out of forty-six shooters in the prelim stage, failing to advance further into the final.[5]
Estpinan also sought to compete for two more editions of the Olympic Games, but finished farther from the standings to achieve a qualifying place on the Cuban team. At the 2014 Championship of the Americas Tournament (CAT) in Guadalajara, Mexico, Estpinan unleashed an astonishing target of 208.1 points to win a gold medal and secure an Olympic quota place for Cuba in men's rifle prone, hoping for his second Olympic bid after a twelve-year absence.[6]
