About Matthew Emmons
Matthew D. Emmons is an American rifle shooter. He competed in various events at the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympics and won a gold, a silver, and a bronze medal. Emmons started out as a successful junior and has been a holder of the junior world record in 50 metre rifle three positions. In April 2004, just prior to the Olympic Team Trials, Emmons discovered his rifle had been severely sabotaged in the supposedly secure locker room at the United States Olympic Training Center. He never found out who the saboteur was, but said "I'd like to know so I could shake their hand and say thanks." At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Emmons won the silver medal in the prone competition.
