Daniel Repacholi (born 15 May 1982) is an Australian sport shooter who has competed at three Olympic Games.[2] He has competed in the 10 metre air pistol, finishing in equal 36th place, and the 50 metre pistol, finishing 23rd, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, he competed in the same events, finishing 31st in the 10 metre air pistol, and 40th in the 50 metre pistol. At the 2012 London Olympics he again competed in the two pistol events, finishing 28th in the 10 metre air pistol and 19th in the 50 metre pistol.[3][4]

Repacholi won a gold medal and a bronze medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.[5] At the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, Repacholi won a bronze medal. At the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Repacholi won a gold medal in the 10m Air Pistol and bronze in the 50m Pistol events.[6]

Political career[]

In October 2021, Repacholi was selected as the Australian Labor Party candidate for the Division of Hunter for the Next Australian federal election.[7] He was endorsed by the Labor leader Anthony Albanese and the nation's mining union despite once describing India as a "shit hole", which he later apologised for.[8][9]
