(Reuters) - Shotgun shooter Kim Rhode will be looking to extend her record as the only U.S. athlete to win medals at five consecutive Olympic Games in an individual sport when she arrives at next month's Rio Summer Games.

The 37-year-old Californian has a long history in the sport, having fired her first weapon at the age of 10 and won her first world championships three years later.
