Sergey Richter (Hebrew: סרגיי ריכטר; Ukrainian: Сергій Ріхтер; born 23 April 1989) is an Olympic sport shooter.

[5][11] Richter began shooting in 2002, at 13 years of age, as part of a Gadna (Israel Defense Forces youth corps) program.

[1] Richter won a gold medal at 20 years of age at the 10 metre air rifle men's final of the 2009 ISSF World Cup in Munich, Germany.

This is my fourth time in an international competition!”[15] In the 2006 10m Air Rifle Men Junior World Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, he came in 4th, with a score of 591.

[20] In June 2010, he came in fourth in the men's 10 metre air rifle final at the 2010 International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup in Belgrade, Serbia, missing the bronze medal by one-tenth of a point.

[23] He won a silver medal at the 2011 Changwon, South Korea, World Cup, with 597 points, becoming the first Israeli athlete to qualify for the London Olympics.

[9][12] In April 2012, Richter won the silver medal in the 2012 Shooting World Cup in London, in men's 10 metre air rifle.

[24] Richter competed on behalf of Israel at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London in men's 10 metre air rifle, having qualified by earning a quota place.

[8] In the 2022 European Championships 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team, he won the gold medal in Hamar, Norway, while coming in fourth in the individual.

[8] In 2023, Richter withdrew from an international competition in Jakarta, Indonesia, after the ISSF refused to allow him to compete with any symbols representing Israel.

"[39] In order to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, athletes are required to compete in a series of four World Cup meets, of which Jakarta was the first in this cycle.

Reportedly, World Cup organizers informed Richter and the Israeli federation they would only allow him to participate with his weapon if he competes with identification symbols of the ISSF or the flag of the International Olympic Committee.

Richter rebuffed the ISSF and chose not to compete in the World Cup, in part stating: I will never accept to participate in a competition without the [IOC Country Code] ISR on my competition suit, on my personal rifle and on the results screen…I start the most important year on the way to Paris, when my opponents take a professional advantage over me due to political problems.

If the Olympic movement, which advocates the existence of sports without distinctions of nationality, religion, race and sex, does not support its ideology, then what is its value?

[8] At the 2023 European Championship in Tallinn, Estonia, Richter won a silver medal in the 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team, and came in 4th in the individual.
