Daisy de Bock (born 10 August 1974 in Beveren) is a Belgian sport shooter.[2] She has been selected to compete for Belgium in air rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has yielded numerous top 10 finishes in a major international competition, spanning the ISSF World Cup series and the European Championships.[1] De Bock trains under the tutelage of Viaene Alain for the national team, while shooting at Dingo Rifle Club (Dutch: Karabijnclub Dingo) in Moerbeke.[1][3]

De Bock qualified as a lone shooter for the Belgian squad in the women's 10 m air rifle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She had registered a minimum qualifying standard of 396 to secure an Olympic berth for Belgium, after finishing fifth in her pet event at the European Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden less than a year earlier.[1][4][5] De Bock aimed an inauspicious 95 at the opening series that stumbled her down the leaderboard early to a thirty-third place draw with three other shooters in the qualifying stage, ending up at 388 points out of a possible 400.[6][7]
