Texans Medal in Olympic Shooting Sports
Shooting sports and Texans are a natural fit, as proved when 3 Texans on the shooting team helped make history with 5 total medal wins at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Smith also won silver with her teammate, coach and North Texas resident, Vincent Hancock, in the Mixed Team Skeet competition. Hancock won his fourth gold medal in Men's Individual Skeet, joining Prince on the podium and becoming the first shooting Olympian to win 4 gold medals in the same event.
