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 Olympic medal since 2008.
