His success carried over into the senior ranks, where he continued to add to his medal count, including victories at the Beretta World Sporting in 2019 and the Clay Shooting Classic in 2022. His impressive résumé also features silver finishes at the English Open Sporting, English Open Compak, UK Open Compak, and the British Grand Prix FITASC.

USA’s Vincent Hancock waited nine years to notch up his third Olympic title, and he did so in style by setting a new Olympic record at Tokyo 2020 on 26 July.

The 32-year-old whooped with delight as he shot a 59 out of a possible 60 targets to beat Denmark’s Jesper Hansen into silver on 55. The result for Hancock made up for a disappointing 15th place in Rio 2016, which came after he won the event in Beijing 2008 and London 2012.

It had been a closely-fought contest at the Asaka Shooting Range on Day 3 of the Games, with the lead changing hands several times between Hancock and Henson, 40. The American, who is also a four-time world champion, managed to pull away in the last two rounds to win the contest.
