Tomáš Caknakis

Career He has been selected to compete for the Czech Republic in running target shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has won a total of fifteen medals under the junior category in a major international competition, spanning the ISSF World Cup series, the World Championships, and the European Championships. Caknakis trains under the tutelage of 1988 Olympic marksman Ján Kermiet for the national running target team while shooting in his native Krnov.

Caknakis was among the youngest athletes (aged 17) to be selected for the Czech team at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, competing in the men's 10 m running target. Upon entering the Games as a possible Olympic medal prospect, Caknakis had attained a perfect score of 100 on the third run to pull off a steady aim in the slow-target portion with 284 points. He scored a modest 276 in the fast-moving round, but could not improve much better at the very end of the qualifying stage, falling to a distant seventeenth in a 19-shooter field with a total score of 560 points, just eighteen points adrift of the Olympic final cutoff.
