19 Year Old Wins In Shootoff





If he's given the opportunity, the odds are that skeet shooter Vincent Hancock is going to come out on top. At his first World Cup at age 16, he set a world record and won a gold medal. At his first World Championships, he won gold. His goal, however, was to win gold at the Olympics. On Friday, he did just that, and set an Olympic record in the process. Hancock, a former Scholastic Clay Target Program standout and member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, hit a record 121 of 125 targets in the qualification round. After missing one target in the final round, Hancock ended up tied with Norway's Tore Brovold, who shot a perfect 25 in the final. In a shoot-off, both shooters hit their first pair. But after Brovold missed one target in his next pair, Hancock came up big, nailing both of his targets for the gold. "I've always dreamed of getting gold and now I've got it," said Hancock. "I like to deal with pressure and now it's paid off. This is such an amazing feeling and I wouldn't trade a minute of it."Watch the skeet final
