Rommate's Sister In The Olympics

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.

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.

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. smile.gif

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.

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.

Ok, qualifiers are over and the sister is in 6th place only 3 points behind the leaders (which is a LOT of points)

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.
