Luciano Giovannetti (born 25 September 1945) is an Italian sport shooter and two-time Olympic champion. He won a gold medal in trap shooting at both the 1980 Summer Olympics and the 1984 Summer Olympics.[1] He is the first trap shooter to successfully defend the Olympic title. He celebrated his victory in 1980 by tossing his cap into the air and shooting a hole through it.[2]
