Athletes to Watch:
Vincent Hancock, United States: The most decorated Olympic skeet shooter of all time, Hancock has three gold medals in an event no one else has won more than once. Hancock, who aims to retire at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, already trains a new generation of shooters at his complex near Fort Worth, Texas.
Tune in early on the first morning of the Olympics. The first gold medal of the Paris Games is set to be awarded at the shooting range. The mixed team 10-meter air rifle competition is expected to conclude at 11:50 a.m. local time on July 27, the morning after the opening ceremony. It's a recent Olympic tradition for shooting to fire the metaphorical starting pistol on the medal rush. Yang Qian won the first gold at the Olympics in Tokyo and Ginny Thrasher of the United States had that honor in Rio de Janeiro.
Men's 10-meter air pistol: Javad Foroughi, Iran.
