I happened to be in the break room at work this morning when she was on the winner's platform and "The Star-Spangled Banner" was playing. I had no idea who she was, other than that she was wearing a smile that came from reaching the pinnacle of her sport. I was glad for her, though. No matter what else life may bring, she'll always have that.
In other Olympic news, the Lebanese team tried to block Israelis from riding on the same bus to the Olympic opening ceremony, and officials made the Israelis take another bus. Those darn Muslims. Good thing it wasn't Trump supporters blocking them or it would have been an International incident played on constant loop on CNN.
Most of the Olympics are boring, but love watching women's archery live; it's an easy to understand sport and scoring system, huge amounts of tension, the women are all endearing next door types (height and weight are not advantages) and the S Koreans tend to always eke things out.
I believe these assault air rifles should be banned. Air rifles like this have no business being owned by private citizens. Only law enforcement professionals should be allowed to own air rifles.

As I said earlier today, don't let Feinstein or Schumer know that her rifle has a pistol grip. They might get palpitations.
Virginia Thrasher: fabulous name. Sounds like a lovely predatory bird.
Doesn't look like a Daisy air rifle. Would like to know more.
Ooooooohhhhh, The Horror!!! The horror......
Luke, it cost waaaaaaaaaaaay more than a Daisy.
I saw her interviewed by Dan Patrick and she was cute as a button. That's what the Olympics are for, not NBA players and pro golfers.
U-S-A, U-S-A!
Side question - why are there separate categories for men and women in that event? Biathalon I could understand...

Probably no good reason. Plus more medals for everyone!
Men compete against women at the Olympics only in equestrian and one sailing event.

I predict at least one "Lone Wolf" attack at these Olympics. Likely by a Trump supporter yelling allahu akbar.

In my best Mr. Macky.

Just thought I'd save ARM the trouble.
Nice shootin', young lady.

22LR's were almost impossible to buy not to long ago. 22 magnum ammo is still limited to one box/visit in our area.
