Kim Rhode, with record 7th Olympics in sight, is world’s best shooter since Rio

As Kim Rhode prepares to turn 40 next year, it looks like she’s peaking as a shooter.

“Probably, yeah,” she said. “That’s one of the great things about being a shooter is you don’t really have a shelf life. You can do this for a long time.”

Rhode, who earned an individual medal in a record-tying sixth straight Olympics in Rio, is two years from likely becoming the second American to compete in seven Olympics after equestrian J. Michael Plumb.

One of the biggest competitions ahead of Tokyo 2020 is the world championships that start this weekend in South Korea.
