Kunzang Choden also made her Olympic debut at the 2012 games. She qualified for the 10-metre air rifle event after receiving a wild card from the Tripartite Commission. Before the games Choden said that, "Bhutan is just a small country of just 700,000. There is a lot of pressure on us but we must be realistic about our chances. We just want to do well." Choden spent time in Germany and Bangladesh preparing for the games. On 28 July Choden competed in the qualification round of her event. She finished 56th out of 56 athletes with a score of 381 points. She scored 18 points less the two equal highest scoring athlete, Sylwia Bogacka of Poland and Yi Siling of China. Choden scored 16 points less than Czech Kateřina Emmons who was the lowest scoring qualifier for the final and therefore her competition ended at the qualifying round. In an interview with Reuters after the games Choden said: "I really enjoyed it. Now we can see how hard we need to work to be really good."
