Her “barrier to coverage” is that nobody gives a damn about her sport. Her success has been mentioned plenty, but in the end shooting sports at the Olympics are one of the many “below the fold” sports, 4th tier and largely only mentioned when some rare feat (like medaling 6 times in a row) happens. It’s right there with the steeple chase, speed walking, canoeing, trampoline and all those other sports even the most hard core

Nobody cares about Fencing neither, didn't stop them from non-stop coverage of that Muslim bitch.

Have no idea who you’re talking about, so it must not have been that non-stop. Welcome to the world of “confirmation bias”, if you want to see things as over covered or under covered you always will. If you learn to not really care because really it’s the Olympics who cares you won’t have those problems.

THANK YOU. My point exactly.

I'll be the first to say that shooting a gun can't begin to compare to the rigors of athletics. But if her politics were different you'd never hear the end of her.
