The Unknown Olympic Champion
Kim Rhode has won medals in six games. Cue the non-coverage.

How do you manage to win a medal at six straight Olympics and remain more or less unknown? The answer: win by shooting a gun. American skeet-shooter Kim Rhode last week became the first athlete, male or female, to win a medal at six summer games and the first on five continents, but don’t look for her on a box of Wheaties.

Mrs. Rhode, who won a bronze medal in Rio, has received little media attention despite

Can you tell me who won the Gold Medal in Dressage in the Rio Olympics? Do you know who won in the Triathlon? Do you know who won in Golf? No you don't. You know why? Cause watching all those sports and shooting is about as exciting as watching grass grow.

If people were actually interested in watching shooting then money could be made from it and the media would have been all over it like a Redneck on cheap beer and duct tape.

So spare me the dumbass conspiracy theory. The fact is that as a sport most people don't give a shit about shooting as a sport and that includes the vast majority of gun owners.

pretty certain you wouldn't even qualify. but then, you don't care about shit you can't do anyway. other than not wanting others to do it, that is.
Well that's pretty much true of anything isn't it? I mean I have never gotten it about Golf. It's a difficult game to play that is suitable for fat guys in suits but as a spectator sport it's painfully boring to watch. Now I've suggested a sure way to put Golf ratings through the ceiling so high that it would eclipse the TV ratings of the NFL, MLB, NBA and NASCAR combined. Have CEO's Senators and Congress Critters and third generation rich kid preppies play it on a mine field.

But you know how that goes? No one listens to me. :(

He is about the right calibre to be a human cannonball at the circus!

Fuck you Mott, the Brownlee brothers won the gold and silver at the triathlon. The UK has come second in the medals table and yet again we swept the board in the velodrome! Oh and Charlotte Dujardin won the gold at dressage.

Because shooting is a terrible spectator's sport. Most of the American coverage of Rio I've seen is of things like swimming, running, gymnastics, taekwondo, boxing, and things like that. Because they're exciting to watch.
Watching a shooting competition unless you're a competitive shooter yourself is booooooring.

I knew that. I'm a former tri geek or did you forget? Be honest now. Triathlon may not be a pussy sport like golf but as a spectator sport it's boring as hell.

Oh and track cycling is anything but boring. If Kierin was marketed properly it could be one of the biggest international sports. It's exciting as hell. The crashes are NASCAR spectacular. It was great to see Cav finally get a track medal. It may not of been gold but by god he took a pound of flesh getting silver. The Omnium is almost exciting as Kierin racing.
