Tugrul Özer is a Canadian sport shooter. Özer won the gold medal in the men's 10-metre air pistol at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago.[2] Tugrul set the Pan American Games Record on the way to his victory over James Hall in 2023 and secured a quota spot and his qualification to the 2024 Summer Olympics.[3][4] Tugrul's 240.5 score in the final surpassed the previous 237.5 set by Cuba's Jorge Grau in 2019.[5] Following his win he said that "It means a lot, really. There’s a lot of effort behind this performance. I’m very happy to have three prizes, happy to have the gold medal and the qualification for Paris. I plan to do better in Paris. It was a challenging competition."[5]
