Hancock, part of the United States' 17-athlete delegation, is set to compete in the men's individual skeet tournament and the mixed team skeet event while English is only American on the women's individual skeet entry list.

Hancock won Olympic gold at the men's individual skeet competitions at Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Tokyo 2020; English secured women's individual skeet gold in Japan last year.

Kayle Browning is also set to turn out for the US in the women's individual, mixed team and women's team trap.

The Arkansan won silver at last year's Olympic Games, narrowly missing out on gold by one point in the women's trap.

The Czech Republic's Tokyo 2020 men's trap champion and Olympic record-holder Jiří Lipták is also set to compete in Italy.

The 40-year-old is down for the individual, mixed team and men's team trap contests.

The women's trap champion at Tokyo 2020, Zuzana Rehák-Štefečeková of Slovakia, is not competing at the event as her country has not sent a delegation.

Kazakhstan boast the biggest squad with 19 athletes including Olympians Zoya Kravchenko and Assem Orynbay.

Competition begins tomorrow with the individual trap tournaments, before the trap team events start on Saturday (April 23).
