There was a three-way shoot-off for the medals at this event. (Thailand and Sweden had a two-way shoot-off for fourth place, which Sweden's Nathalie Larsson won.)

Rhode is a familiar face to those who have been following the Olympic shooting sports teams lately. She won gold medals in double trap at the 1996 and 2004 Olympics, and a bronze at the 2000 Sydney Olympics; her gold at the 1996 Atlanta games made her the youngest-ever Olympic gold medalist in the shooting sports. She switched to skeet when the women's double trap event was eliminated from the Olympics. (You might have also seen articles about her in some of the NRA's magazines, or met her at the Annual Meetings.)

NBC has posted video from the women's skeet final.
