jezter6 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 So, as some of you in chat may have heard me mention - my roommate's sister is in the Olympics this year on the USA Shooting team. Last night she placed 4th in Womens 10m Air Rifle, an event that is not her forte. Apparently she is also listed in the Top 26 hottest TeamUSA femal athletes. I wish I would have been able to watch, but I am going to try and catch her 50m 3 position .22 rifle event online next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidglass Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 how about you don't catch her on tv, but catch her in bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezter6 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Sadly, since US coverage sucks, they don't televise much shooting. Her main event will be next thursday morning @ 2am GMT-5 time online, and possibly on one of the lamer Olympic channels like USA network.I'll let you know, as we have plans to stay up and watch her go for medal in 3position rifle shooting.

jezter6 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 look at the results for Women's 10m Air Rifle - she's the highest USA shooter and was in 4th place. No need to have her name spread out on the web too far so google can bring up search results of Nick's lovely comment. Either way - it's Thursday Morning (Wednesday Night for you westies) at around 12:30am for qualifiers, and I think it's around 2:30am for the finals.I plan to come home from work and go to sleep so I can get up and watch.

jezter6 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Ok, Qalifying starts at 9pm Eastern and 12:30pm for Finals. I'm going to be watching at the NBC Olympics website if it's not on TV, but I will update here if I can find it on TV anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezter6 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Finals are done and she placed 5th. She had silver pretty well locked up until the final shot and just couldn't come up with the shot to stay in medal.I'm still proud to know an olympic athlete that did so well.
