RIO DE JANEIRO — Make it six straight for Kim Rhode.
The 37-year-old American won a medal for her sixth consecutive Olympics on Friday, capturing bronze in the women's skeet shooting event at the Olympic Shooting Center.
It’s a stunning accomplishment from Rhode, who becomes the first female Olympian to medal in six consecutive Games, and the first summer Olympian as well. Only Italian luger Armin Zoeggeler has done it on the men’s side.
Rhode’s bronze medal match ended in a shoot-off, after both she and China’s Wei Meng Wei hit 15 of 16 clays. Rhode missed a clay in her first round of the shoot-off, but Wei then followed by missing one of her own.
