international skeet is LOT harder than American skeet

from low gun and the machines are much faster with a random (1-3 seconds) pull.

That lady can shoot, plain and simple. Saw a special on her last night on the news while I was in CA, turns out she is recovering from breast cancer and at one point wasn't sure she would even be able to make the games. Way to represent the good ole US of A!!!

She is being called the greatest Olympian ever for competing and winning medals in five consecutive Olympic games.

Guns and the USA just belong together. Truly a unbeatable combination.

Unless you're LoLo jones then a comment like that gets everyone riled up.

I remember meeting her at the Boy Scout National Jamboree in 1997. She had her gold medal from the 96 games with her. As a teenage boy, meeting an Olympic athlete who was both an amazing shooter and an attractive woman, I had quite the crush on her. She's still pretty much the only Olympian I check on to see how she did in her events. Glad to see she's still going strong.
