Kimberly Rhode won the gold medal in women's skeet shooting on Sunday. This makes her the first American to take an individual-sport medal in five consecutive Olympics.Yeah, that's right. FIVE.
For those who like to keep track, as a teenager Rhode won the gold medal in double trap at the Atlanta Games in '96 , then took bronze in the same event at Sydney in 2000. She then reclaimed gold at Athens in '04 and then won the silver in skeet at Beijing in '08. So she may not be the most well-known Olympic Champions, but she's certainly consistent and well decorated. Let's hope she can add to streak in Rio in 2016!
