Kim Rhode, an expert target shooter, ranks among the handful of Greatest Olympians of All Time who have won medals across five straight Olympics. Going into the skeet shooting competition at Rio 2016, Rhode was attempting what had never been done: win six consective medals. Challenged by young crack shots and veteran bullseyes, recovering from a series of setbacks and injuries, and coping with a media that wanted to talk with her about anything but the competition, Rhode faced the pink Frisbees with determination and boldness. The result, after tie-breakers and close calls, only added to her legend. (10,000 words)
