Shooter Kim Rhode was the first woman to win medals in six consecutive Olympics

Kim Rhode achieved Olympic history in women’s skeet shooting, winning the bronze medal to become the first woman and first summer Olympian to medal in six consecutive Olympics.

In her career, Rhode has won three golds, one silver and two bronzes. She is the only athlete ever to win Olympic medals in all three shooting disciplines (trap, double trap and skeet) since making her Olympic debut and winning the double trap gold at Atlanta 1996 as a 17-year-old.

Helene Madison was one of the first female American swimming stars

“Six for six, who would have thought,” Rhode said. The bronze in Rio is “at the top of the list. I was very emotional out there (on the medal podium). I think every emotion hits you at once. You want to run, scream, cry and you just don’t know which one to do first. It doesn’t matter if it’s the gold, the silver or the bronze, it’s the journey, and my journey this time was very, very challenging.”
