Rhode has been competing since the age of ten, and a little setback like this wonвЂ™t stop her. SheвЂ™s also won gold at the World Cup and set many world records. 'Ive shot so many high-pressure matches since that (London) Olympics where Ive gotten the medal so it gives you that confidence,' she explained to AFP at Mumbais Maharashtra Rifle Association. The gun was the least menacing part of the scenario. The Olympics are only once every four years and Kim Rhode competes at far more competitions than the Olympics alone. Tokyo 2020 Olympian Vitalina Batsarashkina recently won the gold medal in the women's shooting 10m air pistol competition for the Russian Olympic Committee, but a picture of her holding her pistol has warranted mansplaining from male users on social media.

Rhode is on Team Beretta and uses their DT11 over-under shotgun in 12 gauge. A perfect score in each round would be 25.

On Sunday, the 24-year-old athlete won the womenвЂ™s 10-meter pistol competition with an Olympic record of 240.3 points, surpassing her Bulgarian rival Antoaneta Kostadinova, who won silver with 239.4 points. HereвЂ™re the scores for the Spring trials. Russian sports shooter Vitalina Batsarashkina has the honor of being RussiaвЂ™s first gold medalist at this yearвЂ™s Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo.
