China, Rhode aiming for glory

Unheralded US star setting her sights on fifth straight medal at the Games

China's shooters are the team to beat at the Olympics but Kim Rhode can finally win the attention she deserves by becoming the first athlete from the United States to win individual medals at five Summer Games in a row.

On home soil in 2008, China's crack shots took five of the 15 gold medals on offer, making them the top performers ahead of traditional powerhouses the US and the Czech Republic.
