Rhode has sore knee

| | Comments (0) |

Kim Rhode, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in shooting from Monrovia who is competing in her fourth Summer Games, is nursing a twisted knee, but says it shouldn't bother her when competition begins next week.
During a world cup shooting event in Germany last month, Rhode said she fell and hurt her knee between the first and second day of the competition. She was leading after the first day and ended up fourth.
Rhode won her two Olympic gold medals in double trap. She is competing in skeet at the Beijing Games and the world cup event in Germany was a skeet competition.
She was in China for the opening ceremonies Thursday, has been working out in Korea preparing for the Olympics and said she is still a little sore.
"I can't put any weight down on it," Rhode said. "If I need to get down on one knee, I can't do that. As far as walking, I'm doing OK in that sense. It's not really affecting my shooting now. It's just one of those things that kind of there."
Rhode's first day of competition is Aug. 14.
