Marcus Ricard Åkerholm (born February 29, 1976 in Flen, Uppsala) is a Swedish sport shooter.[2] He has been selected to compete for Sweden in air rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has attained numerous top ten finishes in a major international competition, spanning the World and European Championships and the ISSF World Cup series.[1] Åkerholm trains under head coach Stefan Lindblom for the national team, while shooting at a rifle gun range in Uppsala (Swedish: Uppsala Skyttegille).[1]
Åkerholm qualified for the Swedish team in the men's 10 m air rifle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He managed to get a minimum qualifying score of 594 to gain an Olympic quota place and join with fellow marksman Sven Haglund for Sweden, following his outside-final finish at the Worlds two years earlier.[3][4] Åkerholm shot a steady 588 out of a possible 600 to tie for thirty-third position with Kyrgyzstan's Aleksandr Babchenko in the qualifying round, failing to reach the Olympic final and trailing Haglund throughout the phase by just a single point.[5][6]
