American Kim Rhode did something amazing today; she won a bronze in Women's Skeet. That means she has won a medal in 6 consecutive Olympic games! If you ever get a chance to talk to her, she's a nice lady. You can generally catch her at the USA Shooting booth at SHOT and the NRA Annual Convention; she's worth the line to get an autograph.
I've met her twice- once at SHOT and once when they opened up the local Cabela's. She's a nice lady, very friendly. It's unfortunate that despite winning medals in 6 consecutive Olympics, she gets 0 airtime or praise for her achievements. She spoke up last week defending the 2nd Amendment, and a lot of people on Facebook attacked her, calling her all kinds of vile things. If it weren't for the fact that Virginia Thrasher won our first gold in the Rio games, she probably would have gone completely under the radar just because of her chosen sport.
