Hoppers Crossing is the home of Australian Olympic Gold Medalist Russell Mark and his wife Lauryn, a triple Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist.
A distinction he shared with fellow shotgun shooters Luciano Giovannetti, Trap Men (Italy), Kimberly Rhode, Double Trap and Skeet Women (USA) and Susan Nattrass, Trap Women (Canada).
Al Maktoum shot three rounds of 48 in qualifying to beat Russell Mark's Olympic record of 143 set in Sydney, and took a six-point lead into the final, where he again shot the best round and equaled another Olympic record, this time Mark's from Atlanta.
