CHATEAUROUX, France — Vincent Hancock of the United States beat his student Conner Prince to capture his fourth Olympic gold medal in men's skeet, winning Saturday at the Paris Games. Hancock coaches first-time Olympian Prince and turned around to share a hug with his silver medal-winning student after making his last two shots to ensure the gold.
