Luisa Cristina del Rosario Maida Leiva (born October 7, 1979 in San Salvador) is a Salvadoran sport shooter.[2] She won two medals, silver and bronze, for the 10 and 25 m pistol events at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1][3]
Maida made her official debut for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she placed thirty-sixth in the 10 m air pistol, and forty-first in the 25 m pistol, with total scores of 368 and 557 points, respectively.
Eight years after competing in her last Olympics, Maida qualified for her second Salvadoran team, as a 29-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed in two pistol shooting events. She placed thirty-fourth out of forty-four shooters in the women's 10 m air pistol by two points ahead of Czech Republic's Michaela Musilová, with a total score of 375 targets.[4] Three days later, Maida reached the final of the women's 25 m pistol, as the first female Latin American sport shooter, after scoring a total of 582 targets (292 in the precision stage and 290 in the rapid fire) from the qualifying rounds.[5] Unfortunately, she finished only in eighth place by 3.7 points behind Thailand's Tanyaporn Prucksakorn, with a total score of 774.0 targets (192.0 in the final).[6][7]
