evidence: Six-time Olympic medalist Kim Rhode has been crushing clays for years. She was only 17 years old in Atlanta at the 1996 Olympic Games, where she captured her first gold medal in the double trap event and catapulted to international fame. Now, after having gone to six Olympics and currently in the hunt to attend her seventh at Paris 2024, she plans to keep going "until I can’t walk anymore." In 2016, NBC Sports placed Rhode number 82 in its ranking of the top 100 Olympic athletes, one spot ahead of German ace shooter Ralf Schumann. They were the only shooters on the list. An NRA life member, Rhode was elected to the NRA Board of Directors in 2017. On the NRA Women’s Leadership Forum website, she’s noted as a "vocal defender of the freedoms offered to her by the Second Amendment." Kim Rhode is a woman of many missions. And, after many years spent dedicated to the shooting sports, she wants to pass along what she’s loved most of her life to the next generation.
