Tika Ram Shrestha (born 2 September 1964 in Kathmandu) is a Nepalese sport shooter.[1] He has been selected to compete for Nepal in air rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, finishing in the penultimate position out of 47 shooters.[2]
Shrestha qualified as a sole shooter for the Nepalese team in the men's 10 m air rifle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He had been granted an Olympic invitation for his country by ISSF and IOC, having registered a minimum qualifying score of 570 at the ISSF World Cup meet in Bangkok, Thailand few months earlier.[2][3] A less experienced to the international scene, Shrestha showed much of his strength to shoot 579 points out of a possible 600 for the penultimate position in a 47-shooter field, failing to advance further to the final.[4]
