SGT Vincent Hancock
wins 2nd Olympic Gold


    Ignoring a touch of rain and a ton of pressure, the USA's Vincent Hancock hit 'em with his best shots. His record accuracy Tuesday with a double-barreled shotgun gave him his second gold medal in as many Olympics in skeet shooting Ignoring a touch of rain and a ton of pressure, the USA's Vincent Hancock hit 'em with his best shots.
    His record accuracy Tuesday with a double-barreled shotgun gave him his second gold medal in as many Olympics in skeet shooting. After hitting an Olympic skeet record 148 of 150 targets over two days — including 25-25 in the final — the 23-year-old stood atop the podium for the playing of the U.S. national anthem.
He held his hand over his heart and stood ramrod straight like the Army sergeant he is.
    "Having the opportunity to come out here and represent my     country, that's what it's really all about," said Hancock, who won by two targets over silver medalist Anders Golding (146 score). "God has given me the greatest opportunity in the world to represent my country on a stage this grand and especially to have this medal hanging around my neck again."
