Sgt. 1st Class Glenn Eller has only improved with age.
While many Olympic athletes peak in their 20s, the 34-year-old shooter not only has the advantage of training with the U.S. Army, but he also has the experience of competing in four Olympic Games — winning the 2008 men’s double trap gold medal in Beijing — in the back of his mind as he prepares for his fifth this summer in Rio de Janeiro.
“What's great about shooting is the older we get, the more experience we have and our bodies don’t break down as quickly (compared with other athletes),” Eller said.
