Yelena Struchayeva (Template:Lang-kk; born January 5, 1965 in Almaty) is a Kazakhstani sport shooter.[1] Struchaeva qualified for the women's trap as a 43-year-old at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by winning the gold medal from the 2007 Asian Shooting Championships in Kuwait City, Kuwait.[2] She scored a total of 69 points after firing three sets of 25 targets and receiving six misses in the qualifying round of the competition.[3] She added seventeen more shots to obtain a total of 86 points in the final, but missed out of the bronze medal triumph to United States' Corey Cogdell in a four-person shoot-off. In the end, Struchaeva finished the event in sixth place, after losing out in a fifth-place match against Lithuania's Daina Gudzinevičiūtė.[4][5]
