http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/30/sports...ds.html?src=twrUnder the picture showing the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal winners the caption has the phrase "and Danka Bartekova of Slovakia earned the bronze medal in a shootout." I assume they meant shoot-off. And Ms. Rhode was using a double gun, albeit an over and under. Notice the position of her forehand and how long that stock is.

Yup, she's way back there. Olympic Road Race (cycling) yesterday. Vinokourov, the Kazak, came first. No Americans top three.

Can anyone identify the O/U that she is using? Is it a Baretta?

Opps! I meant a Beretta. She is probably wearing a Barette!

Individual medals for Ms. Rhode in 5 consecutive Olympics, which is an American record. And she's certainly young enough to keep the streak going. Bravo!

Kim Rhode shoots a Perazzi, has since she was a little kid. I thought that medalling in five consecutive Olympics in an individual sport was an Olympic record, not an American record.

I was led to believe that Team USA were to be Krieghoff sponsored at the 2012 London Olympics????

They are sponsoring certain shooters, like Corey Cogdell, but I don't know if they are helping sponsor the team as a whole, or not. Even if they are, it wouldn't make any sense to require a shooter to use a different gun than that which they have been using their whole career.
May God bless America and those who defend her.
