Great job Sgt!
Yay! I watched the video of the US woman who won gold in skeet, and that was amazing. I wish NBC would show more of these types of events instead of wasting time on things like preliminary basketball and synchronized diving. Sorry, if you are fan, but synchronized anything is not a sport.
Just shared with My grandson, who took the Gold at the Nationals in Las Vegas on the 21st, for his age group. Brought Huge smile.
You might want to not put the result in the title. It kind of negates the spoiler alert part.
I dunno... I’d watch synchronized skeet-shooting... ;-)
Ooops I thought I erased that part before posting....Sorry folks. Preparing for incoming FReeper ridicule....LOL
As a sign of good faith, you should cut off your pinky finger.
Was on this morning. Saw it! He didnt miss one :)
