US Shooter Double Medal Count From Athens The 2008 Olympics drew to a close Sunday in Beijing.

Arguably the most successful showing for the U.S. in the history of the Olympic shooting competition, the U.S. Shooting team brought home two gold, two silver and two bronze medals and set a total of five new Olympic records.
