Paris 2024 shooting: All results, as Italy defeats USA by one point to take first ever mixed team skeet gold

In shooting’s final competition of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, Italy’s Diana Bacosi and Gabriele Rossetti beat the USA pair Vincent Hancock and Austen Jewell Smith 45-44 to win gold in the mixed team skeet final.

The competition on Monday, 5 August, marked the Olympic debut of mixed team skeet, and with that, Italy's duo will go down in history as the first ever Olympic champions in the event.

“We achieved this as a team, and we are really happy about the delegation’s performance,” Rossetti said after the competition."

“We did it together," Bacosi added. "I was not alone during the whole competition. We supported each other. We have achieved this medal together, and we couldn’t win it by ourselves alone.”

Hancock clinched his fourth Olympic gold medal in the individual competition earlier this week, and his silver in the mixed team here is the first of a different colour in his Olympic career.

“We did everything we could,” Hancock said. “It was their day. We have gone something like four from four until today and won every team gold we have gone for.

"We’ve done everything we could possibly ask for. She (Smith) has just come off a super-emotional day yesterday (bronze in the women's skeet) and I am just so proud of her for hanging in there for me today.”

Jiang Yiting and Lyu Jianlin from the People's Republic of China overcame India's Maheshwari Chauhanin and Anant Jeet Singh Naruka 44-43 to take bronze.
