America's Vincent Hancock claimed the gold medal from the men's skeet shooting at London Olympics this afternoon.
The 23-year-old, who headed into the event as the defending champion from Beijing, shot an Olympic record 123 during the qualification process.
He then struck all 25 of his targets during the final, taking his overall score to 148 and another record at the Games.
Denmark's Anders Golding finished two targets behind Hancock on 146, while the battle for the bronze medal went to a shoot-out after Nasser Al-Attiya and Valeriy Shomin had ended level on 144.
The medal eventually went to Qatar's Al-Attiya, who hit six out of six targets. His Russian opponent could only manage five.
