Vincent Hancock skeet

Vincent Hancock won his fourth Olympic gold medal in men's skeet shooting at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, defeating his student Conner Prince by just one shot after a tense final round. Hancock, a 35-year-old Army veteran, secured the victory with 58 out of 60 shots, while Prince finished with 57, earning the silver medal. This achievement makes Hancock one of only six athletes to win the same individual Olympic event four times, joining an elite group alongside notable Olympians. The bronze medal went to Taiwan's Lee Meng-yuan. Hancock's Olympic journey spans nearly two decades, having competed in every Summer Olympics since 2008, with previous golds secured in 2008, 2012, and 2021. His success highlights the growing prominence of U.S. shooters at the Paris Games, where the team has already won multiple medals in shooting events.
