Glenn Kable (born 4 May 1963) is a Fijian sport shooter who specializes in the trap.
He was controversially omitted from the Australian Olympic Team in 2000 after winning the selection shoot and being a member of the World Championship winning Men's Olympic Trap team from Tampere, Finland, in 1999. He formed the Shooting Association of Fiji shortly thereafter, registering with the ISSF under the Oceanic banner, after an extended business relationship with Fiji, which commenced with family dealings from the late 1970s.
He won the World Cup in Korea in 2001 in the first International Shooting event that Fiji had entered. He went on to claim a silver medal in the Italian World Cup that same year in Lonato, climbing to 5th on the World rankings. Subsequently, he picked up a Bronze medal at the World Cup in Perth, Australia in 2003, after shooting a perfect 75/75 on the first day.
He represented Fiji in the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002, shooting off for the final, and reproducing exactly the same result as at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006. In 2011 he scored a new Pacific Games record by winning all 6 Gold Medals in the Clay Target Shooting events in Nouméa, and to date has won a total of 9 Gold Medals, 3 Silver medals and 2 Bronze medals at the South Pacific Games in Suva, Samoa and Nouméa, in 2003, 2007 and 2011 respectively.
At the 2008 Olympic Games he finished in joint thirteenth place in the trap qualification, missing a place among the top six, who progress to the final round. He also competed at the 2004 Olympic Games, 2012 Olympic Games and 2016 Olympic Games.
He won the 2011 Oceania Title and an Olympic Quota place for 2012 London Olympics. He also won the 2012 Australian National Olympic Trap Title.
