Yorba Linda shooter falls short of bronze
Jeff Holguin of Yorba Linda, competing in his first Olympics, hit 42 targets, went from third to fourth in the final round of the double trap competition and out of the medals.
"I got off to a bad start and couldn't really figure out what I was doing wrong," Holguin said. "I came here to win; my goal wasn't just to make the team. I am disappointed, but hats off to Glenn who is not only my teammate, but a good friend."
Glenn Eller of Texas won the gold medal in double trap and set two OIympic records. His qualification score of 145 and his final score of 190 targets are Olympic records.
"I was so happy after I won, but I didn't know whether to cry, smile or jump up and down," said Eller. "After my performances in the last two Olympics, I really wanted to come here and bring home a medal for the U.S. This is definitely one of the greatest moments of my life so far."
