Francisca Crovetto Chadid (born April 27, 1990, in Santiago) is a Chilean sport shooter.[2][3] She won the gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in the women's skeet event, marking the third gold medal in Chilean Olympic history and becoming the first Chilean woman to win gold.[4]

Crovetto represented Chile at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, competing as the nation's sole shooter in the women's skeet. She placed eighth in the qualifying rounds, narrowly missing the finals by one point behind Sweden's Therese Lundqvist, with a total score of 66 targets.[5] At the 2016 Summer Olympics, Crovetto was again Chile's lone representative in sport shooting, finishing 19th.[6] She also represented Chile at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[7] At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Crovetto won gold in women's skeet, defeating Britain's Amber Rutter in a controversial tiebreaker.[8] They were tied 55-55 after 60 shots, but Crovetto prevailed 7-6 in the tiebreaker to win Chile's first gold medal in two Olympic Games.[9]

At the Pan American Games, Crovetto boasts a gold medal from the 2023 Santiago edition, silver medals from the 2011 Guadalajara and 2019 Lima editions,[1][10] and a bronze from 2015 Toronto edition.[11]
