‘Overwhelming’: Female Skeet Shooter Talks About Making History With Fifth Consecutive Olympic Medal

LONDON (TheBlaze/AP) — In 2000 she got bronze. Silver was 2008. In 1996, 2004 and now 2012 she hit gold. But that’s not all, with this latest medal, the 33-year-old Olympic skeet shooter from California has become the first American to win individual medals in five straight Olympics.
Kimberly Rhode won the women’s skeet shooting Sunday, tying a world record and setting the Olympic mark with 99 points – meaning she missed once in 100 shots. She was eight targets better than silver medalist Wei Ning of China and nine better than Slovakia’s Danka Bartekova, who topped Russia’s Marina Belikova in a shootout for the bronze.

“It’s just been an incredible journey,” said Rhode, strands of glitter intertwined with her blonde hair. “And ultimately, I couldn’t be happier for bringing home the gold for the United States.”
Watch Rhode discuss the potential for this honor last year with the AP where she also shows off some of her skills:
Lewis, Oerter, Joyner-Kersee and Bruce Baumgartner are the other Americans recognized as individual medal-winners in four straight Summer Olympics. Rhode’s at five now, she’s not planning to stop anytime soon.
“I would like to learn from her,” said Wei, the silver medalist, looking at Rhode and smiling.
Rhode becomes the eighth U.S. woman with at least five individual Olympic medals – speedskater Bonnie Blair and Joyner-Kersee each have six, while Shirley Babashoff, Janet Evans, Shannon Miller, Amanda Beard and Natalie Coughlin also have five.
Pretty good company, by any measure.

“No one has ever shot 100 in this style of shooting,” said Bartekova, who has a 99 in competition. “With Kim shooting like this, it’s not going to take a long time.”
Rhode was a perfect 25-for-25 in each of the first two qualifying sessions, then ran her streak to 65 straight hits before her lone misfire. Several people who braved a chilly rain day at the Royal Artillery Barracks sighed in disbelief at the miss, which Rhode shrugged off with ease.
“I just missed,” she said.
She didn’t miss again. The sun came out for the final round, which she entered with a four-target lead – that’s a lot – and by the midway point of the medal competition everyone knew it was over. All that was left to decide was whether she would tie the world mark of 99, and if she would hold back tears long enough to see the final few orange 4-inch clay targets whizzing about at 60 mph.

“It’s been an overwhelming experience,” Rhode said. “Every emotion hits you at once.”
So did a slew of memories – some good, some not.
Rhode has dealt with her share of issues, like her gun being stolen after the Beijing Games (an anonymous donor provided a new one worth about $20,000, and police eventually recovered the now-retired first one) and a cancer scare. Others weren’t so daunting, like having her poodle eating her air ticket to London – “the dog likes paper,” said Sharon Rhode, the shooter’s mother – and having to scurry to replace her husband’s lost passport.
Everything worked out. And on Sunday, things couldn’t have worked out any better.

“Unbelievable, isn’t it,” said her father and coach, Richard Rhode.
Kim Rhode was 10 when she starting shooting competitively, and the sport is simply not cheap. Her parents – both shooters – supported the plan even if it meant major financial sacrifice along the way.
“We still owe on our house,” Richard Rhode said.
“We’ve refinanced it so many times,” chimed in Sharon Rhode.
“But what do you do when your child has a dream?” Richard Rhode continued. “I think people do that. They sacrifice for their kids. And we wouldn’t change a minute of it. All we can do, pardon the pun here, is bite the bullet.”
Shooting is essentially her full-time job. She’s trained seven days a week since January – even on the day she flew to the London Games – and plans to be back on the range Monday. The bill for shells and targets can reach $700 a day, some of which is covered by sponsors, and she’s still making enough cash to enjoy other things in life.
She‘s collected thousands of children’s books, some rare first-editions. She’s trained in gourmet cooking. She has 14 classic cars, most on racks in a warehouse at the back of her parents’ property. She built a 1965 Shelby Cobra. A few days before the Olympics, she bought a 1928 Ford Model A four-seat convertible.
Is there anything she can’t do?
“I can play guitar better than her,” said Mike Harryman, Rhode’s oft-humbled husband. “I have to say that because everything else, she does better. I bowled a 186 once. I thought that was the best score ever, and she scored a 215. She’s even better at fishing.”
It’s almost like Rhode saw this coming.
As a kid, Rhode got invited to stay and work at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. And one day, athletes in residence were asked to write down everything they could not do.
Rhode didn’t move.
“The coach says to her, ‘Why aren’t you writing?’” Richard Rhode said. “And she goes, ‘Well, I don‘t think there’s anything I can’t do if I put my mind to it.‘ And he stopped everybody from writing and says ’That’s what will make an Olympic champion.’”
He was right.

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 11:45pmTo put this into perspective for the non-shooters out there, I shoot skeet about once a month and have been since I’m 12 (about 20 years). The best round I’ve ever had was a 20 out of 25. I average about a 16. Granted, I‘m using steel 2’s (duck loads) and she probably uses 9′s but still, it’s next to impossible to shoot a perfect round of 25. I’ve only seen it done live 4 times and once was by my grandfather.
For her to shoot a 99 out of 100 is absolutely amazing!

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 8:42pmAs the husband of femalebizownermom, I started shooting competitive skeet the same year Kim did, she was 10 and I was 35. She would go out and shoot 100 straight and while waiting for shootoffs with the others who got perfect scores, Kim would hunt for lizards at the gun clubs in SoCal.
She would come back with a lizard or two(still breathing), pick up her shotgun, and go out and beat most or all of the adults. It was really cute. She has always had the demenor of a world class champion. Humble would be a good word for it. We are proud to have witnessed the beginning of the making of a world class athelte.
Her parents were always supportive and excited for her, she made their sacrifices worthwhile.
To those who think shooting a shotgun is not an athletic event, it requires hours and hours of picking up, opening and closing and swinging a 10 pound shotgun. Not some whimpy air filled ball:)

Report Post »Skrewedretiree
Posted on July 30, 2012 at 11:38pm@ Wolf- Point taken. I understand the 10 gauge is considered rare these days. The 12 is common. Can you last 25 rounds with a 12? I know those who can’t do that either. That’s the point.
Don’t think of going with a 20 guage either, because it’s a small round for small game unless, like me, you get one on 20 guage 3″ Magnum, which is the same as the low end 12 guage. I like the 20 for trap and skeet, if the Magnum, but generally stick to the 12. I would LOVE a ten, but like the 16 gauge, is now mostly a thing of the past.

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 5:30pmYea she’s great but why is this an Olympic sport? I can see why Archery is but she’s no trained athlete in strength, speed, or endurance. If skill is the only necessity for an Olympic sport you could add a lot of extra relatively unathletic events. Why not bring in cup stacking which is more athletic than what she does? Last time I went pigeon shooting I did it with a minor torn shoulder and I impressed myself for a novice despite the pain (about 50%).Honestly shooting a gun took really little physical effort. I can’t even explain how much easier it is than training for competitive basketball. If the skill doesn’t include athleticism then why is it Olympic? Or can some explain to me how this is athletic? There’s a late term pregnant woman in a rifle event! seriously!??!

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 5:17pmI used to love to shoot clay pidgeons in the National Forest/State Forest here in Western Washington. But then the Clinton Administration closed the roads into the forest. I didn’t do that; they did.
Then, under the Obama Regime and the reign of “Queen Christine” Gregoire and the Democraps, they passed a law that I have to have a LICENSE to go into the woods that are closed to me. It’s called the Discover Pass. Failure to have one is a 99 dollar fine, last time I checked. I didn’t do that either.
I am retired and on a small pension, and every dollar counts. But now, I can’t go into the forest and target shoot or launch and shoot clay pidgeons. I used to shoot 12, 20 and .410 guage and loaded my own ammo so I could afford it. But now I can‘t do it anymore because now it’s only for the rich Demcraps.
No, I didn’t do that by myself.
