Jack's Story
After plying his trade at the Reynella Smallbore and Aire Rifle Club, a then 16-year-old Jack Rossiter broke onto the sports shooting scene when he claimed both the junior and senior 10m air rifle titles at the 2013 Oceania Championships.
Here, he set a new finals record score before competing at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games the following year.
Contesting the men’s 10m air rifle, the South Australian shot a qualification score of 611.9 to miss the final by just two points and ended up claiming 10th place.
At the 2015 Oceania Championships, Jack secured back-to-back men’s 10m air rifle titles, holding the lead from start to finish. In doing so, Jack managed to break his own finals record and secure an Olympic quota in the event for Australia.
Leading into the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Jack started the year off with two gold medals at the Pilzen Grand Prix, highlighting his credentials against international competition.
Making his Olympic debut at the Rio 2016 Games at the age of 19, Jack represented Australia in the men’s 10m air rifle event, finishing 46th overall with a qualification score of 612.4.
At the 2019 Oceania Championships in Sydney, Jack won gold in the men’s 50m three positions event, setting an Oceania record of 451.8 points.
At the Tokyo Olympics, Jack contested the men’s 50m rifle three positions where he finished 29th.
In 2022, Jack claimed a bronze medal when teaming with Dane Sampson and Michael Davis in the men’s 50m rifle three positions team event in the ISSF World Cup meet in Changwon, Korea before the trio captured the silver medal in the men’s 10m air rifle team event at the ISSF World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan.
In 2023, Jack underlined his ability when capturing the silver medal in the men’s 10m air rifle at the ISSF 10m Grand Prix competition in Osijek, Croatia.
Early in 2024, Jack set an Australian record in the 10m air rifle at Sydney International Shooting Centre, earning 634.7 event points towards the Paris 2024 nomination leaderboard.
After being nominated for his third Olympics, the 27-year-old competed at Paris 2024 in the men's 10m air rifle and men's 50m 3 position events.
Jack finished 16th in the 10m air rifle and 27th in the 50m 3 position event. These results are Jack's best Olympic performances.
