British shooter Nathan Hales secured Team GB’s third gold medal at the Paris Games by clinching victory in the men’s trap shooting final. Hales delivered a remarkable performance, setting an Olympic record by hitting 48 out of 50 targets. This achievement surpassed the previous record of 43 targets, which was jointly held by the Czech pair of David Kostelecky and Jiri Liptak from the Tokyo Games.
At just 28 years old, Hales now holds both the world and Olympic records in men’s trap shooting, solidifying his status as a dominant force in the sport. His precision and skill were on full display during the final, earning him a well-deserved place in Olympic history.
