Rhode in record books, more chapters to come


LONDON (Reuters) - Kim Rhode could finish her shooting career as the United States greatest Olympian ever but it will be one spent mostly in obscurity defending a sport she maintains is misunderstood.

A gold medal victory in the women's skeet on Sunday put Rhode into the record books as the first American to medal in five consecutive Olympics and at just 33-years-old, competing in a sport that has seen winners in their 60s, could easily take part in five more Games before putting away her shotgun.
