Shooting will have a different look at the Rio Olympics this summer. Yogi Ferrell Kings Jersey .The International Shooting Sport Federation altered the finals format for Olympic events, starting all finalists at zero -- qualification scores had previously carried over -- with eliminations that culminate in a final duel for the gold medal.The ISSF made the changes in an effort to make the sport more appealing to younger generations and make it more fan friendly. The rules were put in place in 2013 and should make things extra interesting in Rio.A few more things to look for from the shooting events at the Rio Games:---THE RUNDOWN: Shooting at the Rio Olympics will include 15 events, nine mens and six womens. Competition is Aug. 6-14 at the Olympic Shooting Centre in Deodoro Olympic Park, which will also be the site of rugby, equestrian, BMX and mountain bike racing, pentathlon and kayaking.RHODES RIDE: Swimmer Michael Phelps is the most decorated American Olympian with 22 medals. Kim Rhode has a chance to do something not even Phelps has accomplished. Should the 36-year-old skeet shooter earn a medal in Rio, she will become the first U.S. Olympian to earn medals in six straight Olympics. A string of health issues put Rhode in danger of missing the Rio Games, but came through when she needed to, earning the team nomination at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Arkansas in May. Rhode is the first American woman in an individual sport to earn medals in five straight Olympics, winning her first three in double trap and her last two in skeet.FAMILY AFFAIR: Shooting at the Olympics is nothing new to Georgian Nino Salukvadze; the Rio Games will be her eighth. This one will be extra special with her 18-year-old son there with her. Tsotne Machavariani shot a personal best in 10-meter air pistol at the European championships in February to earn a surprise Olympic spot, creating what is believed to be the first mother-son duo to compete in the same Olympics. Salukvadze won gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics in 25-meter pistol and became a celebrity at the 2008 Beijing Games when she kissed a Russian shooter on the podium at a time when Georgia and Russia were at war.OLYMPIAN EFFORT: Jay Shi was 9 when he was working on a class project with scissors and stabbed himself in the eye. Doctors were able to restore his vision after the family moved from Beijing to the United States, but far from perfectly. Unable to see three dimensionally or judge distances well, Shi was forced to shoot cross-eyed -- gun in his right hand, left eye aiming down the site -- after taking up the sport about a decade ago. He failed to qualify for the Olympics in his home country in 2008 and the 2012 London Games as he tried to find a method that worked. Shi finally broke through this season, dominating the Olympic Trials in free pistol.CHASING CHINA: China will be the favorite in Rio after dominating the past two Games. The Chinese won five golds and seven overall medals at Beijing in 2008 and had the most medals at London with two golds and five overall. Guo Wenjun will be looking for a three-peat after becoming the first woman to repeat in womens 10-meter air pistol four years ago and Yi Siling will defend the 10-meter womens air rifle title.EYE ON EMMONS: Matt Emmons has seen his share of ups and downs during his career. He won gold in 50-meter prone rifle at the 2004 Athens Games using a borrowed rifle after his was apparently sabotaged in the locker room. He missed on a chance for double gold when he shot at the wrong target in three-position rifle. Emmons had another three-position mishap at the 2008 Beijing Games when, while comfortably leading, he accidentally hit the trigger and barely hit the ring on his final shot, dropping him to fourth. Emmons took silver in prone in Beijing and was the three-position bronze medalist at London in 2012.DIAMOND OUT: Australian Michael Diamond, one of the most decorated shooters in Olympic history, will not compete in Rio after being arrested in May on DUI and firearms charges. The two-time gold medalist in trap pleaded not guilty and his attorney asked the court to expedite his case so it could finish before the July 4 Olympic selection cutoff. Diamond met with the Australian Olympic Committees executive board in late June to plead his case, but Shooting Australia opted to not nominate him for Rio, a decision the AOC supported. Diamond has competed in six Olympics, winning gold in 1996 and 2000. Sacramento Kings Jerseys . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Custom Sacramento Kings Jerseys . Arsenal failed to take full advantage of its main rivals stumbles on Saturday as substitute Gerard Deulofeu levelled with a hard shot from a tight angle in the 84th minute to give Everton a deserved point. Ahead of a crucial fortnight that will see them play against Napoli in the Champions League, Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal leads by five points ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea. http:///...akovic-Kings-Jersey/ .com) - The red-hot Los Angeles Kings will try to extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Sundays clash at Rexall Place. EL DORADO, Ark. -- Madelene Sagstrom won the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout on Sunday for her third Symetra Tour title of the season, officially earning an LPGA Tour that she wrapped up months ago.The 23-year-old Swede closed with an even-par 72 at Mystic Creek to finish at 7-under 209, two strokes ahead of Becca Huffer (68) and Canadas Augusta James (69).Sagstrom finished off the Symetra Player of the Year, Gaelle Truet Rookie of the Year and the season money title. She earned $15,000 to push her record season total to $156,184 with two tournaments left. The 2015 Southeastern Conference player of the year at LSU has 11 top-10 finishes in 14 events.This season has meant so much to me and all the awards mean a lot to me, Sagstrom said. I knew I was close to closing out the award (Player of the Year) and I feel accomplished, but I also realize that I cant focus on those things to perform at my best. Im now really looking forward to the Symetra Tour Championship, which will be my last event.Sagstrom earned an in-season promotion to the LPGA Tour with her third victory, but the big tour had no more domestic full-field events left that she could play this season. Peja Stojakovic Jersey. agstrom had only five pars in the final round. She bogeyed the three of the first four, then birdied the next three. She bogeyed No. 10, birdied the next three, made a double bogey on the par-5 14th, birdied the par-4 17th and bogeyed the par-5 18th.I started off really rough with three bogeys on the first four holes, but I found a good thought that was working and I eventually found my rhythm, Sagstrom said. I made two runs of three birdies in a row and I was really happy about that. Im just really happy with the way I composed myself.The Swede also won the Chicos Patty Berg Memorial in April in Florida and the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation Womens Health Classic in May in South Carolina.The final top 10 on the money list will earn LPGA Tour cards.
