Richard has competed at three Olympic Games, his most recent being Athens where he finished 13th in the Double Trap section.
He won Double Trap gold in Sydney in dramatic fashion after a shoot-off with home favourite and defending champion Russell Mark. Rihcard had been fourth going into the final round but produced a superb performance to force a shoot off. He hit three of the four shoot off targets and Mark could only manage two. It was Britain's first gold medal in trap shooting since Bob Braithwaite in 1968.
