Kanstantsin Lukashyk (born September 18, 1975) is a Belarusian pistol shooter, most famous for winning the 50 m Pistol event at the 1992 Olympics, at the age of 16, shocking the world of competitive shooting. The final was one of the first successes for broadcasting of shooting, and for his last shot Lukashyk raised his arm four times, the shot finally breaking only seconds before the 75-second deadline. This final has also often been used to promote shooting as a sport for all ages, because of the age difference between Lukashyk and the then 58-year-old Ragnar Skanåker (Sweden), who finished third.
The year after Barcelona, Lukashyk set a junior world record in 10 m Air Pistol (lasting until 2006), and has ever since been a regular member of the Belarusian national team, with varying results including some medals at ISSF World Cups.
