We were delighted to hear that Skeetshooter Kim Rhode had won gold at the London Olympics this week. In 1996, she was the youngest member of the US Olympic team, and this year marked her fifth trip to the Olympics. She won her fifth medal and in doing so equaled the world record of 99 out of 100 clays while setting a new Olympic record. She becomes the only American to win medals in individual events in 5 consecutive Olympics.

When Jodi photographed and interviewed 100 Women for her book “Superwomen”, the goal was to include a range of  athletes, from novices to Olympians to historical figures. She wanted to represent a mix of sports as well as personalities who could serve as role models and inspiration to others. Kim fit that bill perfectly then, and still does today. She has been quoted as saying that her sport is about “responsibility, discipline and focus”, a familiar set of values to many of the “superwomen” athletes.
