The pessimist in me tells me that if her record achievement had been in anything other than the shooting sports, her level of recognition might be on par with an athlete who broke standing records.[Kim] Rhode has become the first American Olympics participant to win individual medals at five consecutive Games. She easily won the women's skeet gold medal with a total of 99 hits, missing only one of the 100 clay 'birds' launched. Wei Ning of China won silver with 91 hits and Slovakia's Danka Bartekova took bronze with 90 hits.
