Niki Marty (born 13 October 1973 in Zürich) is a Swiss sport shooter.[2] He won a bronze medal in rapid fire pistol shooting at the 2002 ISSF World Championships in Lahti, Finland, and was selected to compete for Switzerland at the 2004 Summer Olympics, finishing in twelfth place.[1] Marty trains under Polish-born head coach and four-time Olympian Krzysztof Kucharczyk for the national team at Küsnacht Shooting Range (German: Schützengesellschaft Küsnacht) in his native Zürich.[1]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Marty qualified for the Swiss squad in the men's 25 m rapid fire pistol. He had registered a minimum qualifying score of 588 to gain an Olympic quota place for Switzerland, following his third-place finish at the Worlds two years earlier.[5][6] Marty fired a total score of 577 points to force a two-way tie with Hungary's four-time Olympian Lajos Pálinkás for twelfth place in the qualifying round, failing to advance to the final.[7][8]
