Martin Senore (born 6 May 1968 in Pretoria) is a South African sport shooter.[2] He has been selected to compete for South Africa in small-bore rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has achieved a total of two medals, a gold and a bronze, at two editions of the African Championships.[1] Senore trains full-time at Eagle Eye Shooting Centre in Pretoria under his longtime coach Hubert Bichler.[1]
Senore qualified as a sole shooter for the South African squad in the men's 50 m rifle prone at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[3] He managed to get a minimum qualifying score of 597 to fill in the Olympic quota place for South Africa, which was previously awarded to his brother Fred Senore, following his fourth-place feat at the ISSF World Cup meet in Munich, Germany.[1][4] Senore recorded a lowly 588 out of a possible 600 from his 60 shots to occupy a thirty-ninth position in a vast field of forty-six shooters, failing to advance to the final.[5][6]
