Team Winchester’s Kim Rhode Wins Second World Cup Gold

EAST ALTON, IL (March 15, 2023) — Kim Rhode, the most iconic Olympic athlete in the history of the shooting sports, recently continued her impressive 2023 win streak in Doha, Qatar. Rhode locked up her third major victory in a row following an individual gold medal in Women’s Skeet at the Morocco World Cup and the Team USA Spring Selection Match in Tucson, AZ.

Rhode also triumphed in the Skeet Mixed Team event alongside Team USA member Vincent Hancock. Both Rhode and Hancock were perfect in the shoot-off to bring home another gold medal for the United States.

“Kim’s accomplishments this year are beyond impressive. She has been the dominant force in Olympic shooting for almost 30 years since her first Olympic Gold in 1996,” said Jason Gilbertson, director of marketing for Winchester Ammunition. “We look forward to following and supporting Kim’s career in the coming years as she works towards qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and 2028 Olympics, held in her home state of California. Kim is without question a tremendous ambassador for Team Winchester and the shooting sports.”
