Kim Rhode won big at the International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) World Championship in Munich, Germany, taking home the Skeet Women's Gold Medal and securing a spot on the 2012 USA Olympic team. Rhode scored a 97/100, breaking a perfect 25/25 targets in the tense final round. The perfect score in the last round gave her a 1-target margin of victory.

The World Championship medal comes a month after Rhode won the U.S. Nationals in International Skeet, and ranks her number No. 1 in the world. Rhode's standing and securing of the Olympic spot give her a chance to win an unprecedented five consecutive medals across five Olympic games, something no U.S. competitor has done in an individual sport.
