This four-time Olympian accomplished a major goal in August-she won her first World Shooting Championship gold medal. Her win also propelled her above the point threshold used to help select 2012 Olympians. Leading the pack with 53 points, Rhode is well on her way to qualifying for London 2012. Moreover, if she medals in London she will add her name to the record books as the first individual American athlete to win five medals in five consecutive Games. Congratulations Kim! Keep it up and good luck in the World Cup Final! |
