Team USA’s Rhode takes bronze in women’s skeet shooting
American shooter Kim Rhode added to what has already been an incredibly successful career Friday, as she took bronze in the skeet shooting competition. Rhode, who has now won an Olympic medal in six consecutive Olympic Games, defeated China’s Weng Mei in the bronze medal match.
The match went into sudden death, with Rhode clinching the win in the fourth round. Rhode is the first Summer Olympian to win a medal in six consecutive Games, with Italian luger Armin Zoeggeler being the only other athlete to accomplish the feat. Rhode also became the first Olympic athlete to win an Olympic medal on five different continents, with German equestrian rider Isabell Werth joining her shortly thereafter.
