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.

You might want to not put the result in the title. It kind of negates the spoiler alert part.

As a sign of good faith, you should cut off your pinky finger.
