Shrestha qualified as a sole shooter for the Nepalese team in the men's 10 m air rifle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He had been granted an Olympic invitation for his country by ISSF and IOC, having registered a minimum qualifying score of 570 at the ISSF World Cup meet in Bangkok, Thailand few months earlier.
