United States Adds 2 Gold Medals in Skeet Shooting
English and Hancock added to the American gold-medal haul Monday morning with wins in the skeet shooting discipline.
The former set an Olympic record of 56 points in the women's skeet shooting final, missing only four of her 60 targets in the championship round.
The new Olympic champion missed just two of her final 30 targets. Silver medalist Diana Bacosi of Italy missed four targets in her final 30 attempts to finish one point back of English.
Hancock also set an Olympic record with 59 points in the men's skeet final. He missed one of his 60 targets.
The 32-year-old is now a three-time gold medalist in the event. Hancock won gold in 2008 and 2012, but he did not medal in 2016.
Hancock and English joined Will Shaner among the American gold medalists in the shooting events. Hancock told USA Today's Olivia Reiner what the gold medals to the program:
"It sets the tone of what can be expected from USA Shooting. Our athletes have been competing at a really high level for quite a few years now. I think that's because we're a small sport, we don't get quite the recognition. But when looking at the number of medals that we win on a yearly basis, it's impressive."
Shooting is one of two sports in which the U.S. earned multiple medals in Tokyo. The other is swimming, where the United States claimed eight medals.
Japan Tops Gold-Medal Leaderboard
Japan ended Monday morning as the leader in gold medals.
The host nation produced three first-place finishes to move one ahead of the United States on the gold-medal leaderboard.
Thirteen-year-old Momiji Nishiya was the most notable of the three gold winners Monday for her efforts in the women's skateboard street competition.
Nishiya finished in front of another 13-year-old, Rayssa Leal of Brazil, to win the first women's Olympic skateboarding gold medal. She won the competition with a score of 15.26 and became the second Japanese athlete to win skateboarding gold in Tokyo. Yuto Horigome won the men's street discipline Sunday.
Japan's other two Monday gold medals came from the mixed doubles table tennis tournament and Shohei Ono in men's judo.
In total, Japan has 13 medals. That is good enough for third place on the overall medal table beneath China and the United States.
