When Vincent Hanock won gold in mens skeet, he outlasted American Conner Prince in the final two. When he earned silver in mixed team skeet, his partner was Austen Smith.

The presence of Prince and Smith alongside Hancock on the Olympic podium is far from a coincidence it was actually a process four years in the making dating back to the Tokyo Games.

Smith competed at her second Games in Paris, while it was an Olympic debut for Prince. Each won their first Olympic medal in Paris, and there's one person who they both thanked for that their five-time Olympian coach, Vincent Hancock.

Smith and Prince train under Hancock at his youth-focused center in Northlake, Texas.
