There was an air rifle win, I think
William Shaner won 10 M Air Rifle Gold with a score of 251.6 (Olympic Record). He is only 20 years old. He is a student at the University of Kentucky. Man there are a lot of medalists that are coming out of that place this year. Mary Tucker and teammate Lucas Kozeniesky earned silver in the mixed team shooting 10-meter air rifle. UK College of Medicine's married competitors Lee Kiefer and Gerek Meinhardt won gold and bronze respectively in foil. A big chunk of the track team is from UK.Originally Posted by Cacafuego

I note that the national news never mentions or shows them. At least, I didn't see that. Lots of mooning over the swimmers.
I see what you did there. Because, y'know, Speedos.

Pistol Dueling used to be an Olympic Sport:

At least the air rifle win was on YouTube.

Those guys are like statues.
REPETITION CREATES BELIEF
REPETITION BUILDS THE SEPARATE WORLDS WE LIVE AND DIE IN
NO EXCEPTIONS
I remember the same thing happening to Kim Rhode and her Gold in women's double trap in '96 as a teenager. You'd think a teenager winning Gold would get sung from the rooftops, but no.
I've seen the same thing repeat every Olympics since, which always makes me wonder whether I should stop giving a shit about the news, the Olympics, or both.
Yeah, I saw that a USA woman won the discus but saw two human interest pieces discussing the hard lives of a runner, a swimmer and then the 'protest' of a hammer thrower. If she didn't protest, we would have never seen her.
