American soldier Vincent Hancock retained his Olympic men's skeet crown on
Tuesday after a flawless display of shooting in the final at London's Royal
Artillery Barracks.
Denmark's Anders Golding won silver while Nasser al-Attiyah of Qatar took
bronze after a shoot-off with Russia's Valeriy Shomin.
Hancock -- a US Army sergeant who trains soldiers in marksmanship at Fort
Benning in Georgia --became the first two-time winner of the event at the
Olympics with an Olympic record of 148.
The 23-year-old topped qualifying, hitting 123 targets out of 125, one ahead
of Golding and never looked remotely in trouble of slipping from top spot
during the final.
Skeet requires a competitor to hit a fast-moving clay target. In the men's
competition there are 125 targets in qualifying, with the top six shooters
progressing to the final, where they fire at a further 25 targets.
The score in the final is added to the qualification round score.
Hancock's gold means a US skeet double after Kim Rhode won the women's title
, equalling the world record in the process.
China, who topped the Beijing shooting medals table with five golds, ahead
of the United States, also have two shooting golds. South Korea and Romania
have one gold apiece. | P*****J

他建个双向靶场, 每天下午放学后练两个小时. 与AMU无关. 即使不参军,他也能象
Kimberly Rhode一样,靠赞助练枪. |
