Doron Shaziri (Hebrew: דורון שזירי; born 21 February 1967) is an Israeli Paralympic shooter.

Early life

2012 Paralympics Opening Ceremony

In 1987, Shaziri was working as an Israel Defense Forces recruit while patrolling the Israeli-Lebanon border, when he tried to rescue his comrades but was hit by a mine. After the incident, he was taken to a military hospital where he was given a prosthetic leg. In 1994, he realized that he was a good engineer, and established his own business in which he was constructed wheelchairs for injured vets.

Shooting career

Shaziri was selected to be a flag bearer at the 2012 Paralympics opening ceremony; he also won a silver medal at these games. Prior to the London Paralympics, he also won silver and bronze medals in such competitions as the 1996 Atlanta, 2000 Sydney, 2004 Athens, and 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games.
