Cynthia Meyer, whose mother is originally from Vancouver, has been one of Canada's top international performers in shooting over the past several years.
At the Sydney Olympics she quietly finished fifth in the women's double trap shotgun event.
Athens is her third consecutive Olympics, and she is the only Canadian qualified for the sport as new tough standards set by the COC have hit Canada's shooting team very hard.
Canada had nine shooters at both the 2000 and 1996 Olympics.
Meyer, a mother of one, lives and works in New York City as a financial advisor for attorneys and small law firms. She was Canada's female shooter of the year in 1997 and 1998.
She was a late bloomer in the sport starting at age 22 after her father took up the sport. As a youngster her family used to live part of the year at Bowen Island, B.C.
