Custódio Ribeiro Ezequiel (born March 28, 1962 in Alcochete) is a Portuguese sport shooter.[2] He was selected to compete for Portugal in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004), and also produced a career tally of three medals, two golds and one bronze, at the ISSF World Cup series.[1] Ezequiel is a member of Vilamoura Shooting Club (Portuguese: Clube de Tiro de Vilamoura).[3]
Ezequiel's Olympic debut came at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he marked 111 out of 125 targets to force a four-way tie with Italy's Rodolfo Vigano, Ireland's Derek Burnett, and United Arab Emirates' Ahmed Al Maktoum for eighteenth place in the men's trap.[4][5]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Ezequiel qualified for his second Portuguese team in trap shooting, after having achieved a minimum qualifying score of 123 from his remarkable top finish at the ISSF World Cup meet in Granada, Spain a year earlier.[1][6][7] Ezequiel fell out of his previous Olympic feat to finish in a four-way tie with Turkey's Oğuzhan Tüzün, India's Mansher Singh, and Singapore's Lee Wung Yew for twenty-first position, firing a matching score of 111.[8][9]
