Men's trap shooting was one of the fifteen shooting events at the 1996 Summer Olympics. The event took place at the Wolf Creek Shooting Complex on July 20th and 21st, 1996.[1] There were 58 competitors from 41 nations, with each nation having up to three shooters.[1] Michael Diamond of Australia won, setting two new Olympic records, ahead of two Americans. After the regular 150 targets, it took a marathon shoot-off to separate the silver and bronze medalists; after both shooters had hit 27 straight targets, Josh Lakatos hit his 28th while Lance Bade missed.[2][3] It was the first medal in the men's trap for Australia; the United States had most recently been on the podium in the event in 1984.
