Fernanda Russo (born October 2, 1999 in Córdoba) is an Argentine sport shooter.[1] She won a silver medal in the air rifle at the 2015 Pan American Games, and also shared a runner-up prize with Mexico's José Santos Valdes in the mixed international rifle team at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.[2][3]
Russo made her first Olympic team for Argentina as a fourteen-year-old at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, claiming the silver medal in shooting. In her first event, the girls' 10 m air rifle, she shot 406.9 points to finish thirteenth from a field of twenty, but missed out a chance to compete for the final.[4] Two days later, Russo and her Mexican partner José Santos Valdes had put up a decent aim to take home the silver in the mixed international rifle team competition, losing the final match 2–10 to Hungary's István Péni and Egypt's Hadir Mekhimar.[2][5]
The 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada sought Russo a chance to prove her credentials on the world stage despite of her age. Coming to the final round of the women's 10 m air rifle with a fourth-seeded score of 411.3, Russo marked a superb 204.7 to claim a silver medal in a duel against Mexico's Goretti Zumaya, who eventually walked away with a victory by just a narrow 0.1-point margin.[3][6] Moreover, Russo secured a place on the Argentine team and had an opportunity to be selected for her first ever Olympics.
