Eatonton-native Vincent Hancock gave the Americans a sweep in skeet at the Tokyo Olympics by winning his third gold medal about an hour after Amber English won women’s gold. Hancock is the first skeet shooter to win three golds and set an Olympic record by hitting 59 of 60 targets. He won in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012, but had a disappointing finish in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Now 32, Hancock started skeet shooting at the age of 10 with his dad and brother. Just before he turned 12, someone told him he should compete for the Olympics, and he hasn’t looked back since.
