Aleksandr Babchenko

Aleksandr Babchenko (Russian: Александр Бабченко; born 9 December 1971 in Bishkek) is a Kyrgyzstani sport shooter.

[1] Babchenko qualified as a lone shooter for the Kyrgyz squad in rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.

He had been granted an Olympic invitation for his country in the 10 m air rifle by ISSF and IOC, having registered a minimum qualifying score of 593 from his outside-final finish at the Worlds two years earlier.

[1][3] Babchenko started off with his signature event, the 10 m air rifle, where he shot an ill-fated 588 out of a possible 600 to finish in a two-way tie with Sweden's Marcus Åkerholm for thirty-third position.

[5] In his third and last event, the 50 m rifle 3 positions, Babchenko rounded out the 40-shooter field to last place with a qualifying score of 1130 points (393 in prone, 364 in standing, and 373 in the kneeling).
