Maximilian Ulbrich (born 27 November 2000) is a German sport shooter. He is a three-time European champion with the air rifle.[1]

Professional career

Maximilian Ulbrich had several successes in his youth, such as 1st place at the German Youth Championships 10 m air rifle 2018 and 6th place at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires. In 2019, he won a silver medal in both the 10 m air rifle and 10 m air rifle mixed disciplines at the ISSF Junior World Cup 2019 in Suhl.[1]

After that, things quietened down somewhat for Ulbrich, who continued to train as a police officer with the Bavarian police's top sports support group. Ulbrich returned to success with his new coach Wolfram Waibel and became European air rifle champion in 2023, despite breaking his left wrist just a few days before the competition.[2] This was followed in 2024 by a first place at the European Air Rifle Championships in Győr with his teammate Anna Janssen and a silver medal at the European Games in Wrocław.[3]

At the Olympic Games, Ulbrich - also with Anna Janßen - qualified for the mixed bronze medal match. There they lost to the Kazakh duo Alexandra Le and Islam Sätbajew after 60 shots with 1.1 points 630.8 to 629.7 rings and thus took fourth place.[4]
