Winning an Olympic medal is impressive. Winning five Olympic medals is extremely impressive. But winning five Olympic medals in five consecutive Olympics? Well, that’s unheard of among U.S. athletes — at least until now.
Kimberly Rhode, an American female skeet shooter became the first U.S. athlete (male or female) to win an individual-sport medal in five consecutive Olympic games, according to the AP. On top of that, Rhode set an Olympic record yesterday, with her gold-medal performance. Her score? Ninety-nine points.
After five Olympics (her first was as a teen in the 1996 Atlanta games, where she took home a bronze) and five medals, Rhode sat down with NBC to talk about how it feels to be a record-smashing, gun-slinging, skeet-shooting force of nature. Bottom line? It feels pretty darn good.
