Kunzang Lenchu also made her first appearance in the Olympics at the 2016 Games. She qualified for the women's 10 metre air rifle shooting tournament after being awarded a wildcard place from the Tripartite Commission. Lenchu spent time in India preparing for the Games because of a lack of shooting facilities in Bhutan. Before the Games she said that she was disappointed at finishing 12th at the South Asian Games in her contest and affirmed she would "do her best" at the Olympics. On 6 August Lenchu competed in the qualification round of the women's 10 metre air rifle. She finished 45th out of 51 athletes with a score of 404.9 points. She scored 16 points less than the highest-scoring competitor, Du Li of China. Lenchu scored two 11 points less than Yi Siling from China who was the lowest scoring qualifier and therefore her competition ended at the qualifying round.
