Beáta Krzyzewsky (born 28 August 1976 in Budapest) is a Hungarian sport shooter.[2] She has been selected to compete for Hungary in rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has won a gold medal in small-bore rifle prone at the 2007 European Championships in Granada, Spain.[1] Krzyzewsky trains for the Angyalföldi Civilian Rifle Association in Budapest under her longtime coach György Slita.[1][3]
Krzyzewsky qualified for the Hungarian team in women's rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She managed to get a minimum qualifying standard of 583 in small-bore rifle three positions to join with fellow markswoman and four-time Olympian Éva Joó and secure an Olympic berth for Hungary, following her bronze medal triumph at the ISSF World Cup meet in Changwon, South Korea a year earlier.[1][4][5] In the 10 m air rifle, held on the first day of the Games, Krzyzewsky fired a modest 387 out of a possible 400 to obtain a thirty-seventh position throughout a 44-shooter field.[6][7] Nearly a week later, in the 50 m rifle 3 positions, Krzyzewsky put up another substandard aim to land in thirty-first with a total score of 560 points (a scintillating 195 in prone, 178 in standing and 187 in the kneeling series).[8][9]
In 2007, Krzyzewsky showed her most potential form in bouncing back to the range by claiming her first individual gold in the small-bore rifle prone at the European Championships in Granada, Spain, shooting comfortably at 591 points.[10]
Outside her shooting career, Krzyzewsky is a political science graduate at Pázmány Péter Catholic University, and currently works as a professional lawyer.[3][11]
