LONDON (AP) — Kimberly Rhode won the gold medal in women’s skeet shooting Sunday, making her the first American to take an individual-sport medal in five consecutive Olympics.

Rhode won a gold medal in double trap at Atlanta as a teenager in 1996, took bronze in that event four years later at Sydney, re-claimed the gold at Athens in 2004 and won the silver in skeet at Beijing in 2008.

She set an Olympic record in qualifying, missing only one of her 75 shots.
