Lynda Kiejko comes from a shooting family with a great Olympic legacy. Her late father Bill Hare competed at the Tokyo 1964, Mexico City 1968 and Munich 1972 Olympic Games. Her sister Dorothy Ludwig became an Olympian at London 2012 after competing at the 2007 and 2011 Pan Am Games. They competed together at the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games, creating a moment to remember in 2010 when the sisters won bronze in the 10m air pistol pair event. Kiejko made her own Olympic debut at Rio 2016 where she competed in the 10m air pistol and 25m pistol events.

Kiejko has three Pan Am Games medals to her credit, winning double gold in the 10m air pistol and 25m pistol at Toronto 2015 following her 10m air pistol bronze at Santo Domingo 2003. She had started 2015 with a career-high result on the ISSF World Cup circuit, finishing sixth in the 10m air pistol in Changwon. She achieved a career highlight in 2014 when she won the national title in the 10m air pistol just one month after giving birth. She also competed at her first ISSF World Championship since 2006 and cracked the top-five in the 10m air pistol at the Continental American Championships.

Kiejko experienced one of her proudest moments when she won 10m air pistol gold at the 2018 Continental American Championships. By being present in the moment, she had what she calls the “perfect match” to secure an Olympic spot for Canada for Tokyo 2020. After giving birth to her third child in September 2019, Kiejko competed at the national trials just four months later and claimed that Olympic spot for herself. She would also compete in the 25m pistol at Tokyo 2020.
