Rotary Club of Monrovia Supports Olympic Shooter Kim Rhode


Olympic shooter Kim Rhode

Rotary Club of Monrovia will be presenting Olympic athlete Kim Rhode with a donation check at its next meeting to help fund her training for this summer's Olympic games.

Rhode, a Monrovia resident, will be attending the 2012 Summer Olympics, and if she medals, she will be the first U.S. athlete in an individual sport to medal in five consecutive Olympics. Kim is a two-time Olympic gold medal winner and six-time national champion in double trap. She was the youngest member of the U.S. Olympic team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Most recently she won a silver medal in skeet shooting at the 2008 Summer Games.
