Making an Olympic team once is a massive achievement. Doing it twice is even more impressive. 

But this year, Team USA features three athletes who are now in their sixth (yes, sixth) summer games: Rifle shooter Kim Rhode, equestrian Phillip Dutton, and pistol shooter Emil Milev. 

Here's a look at their Olympic accomplishments over the years. 

Kim Rhode started shooting rifles when she was just 10 years old. At 13, she won a world championship. And at 17, she won her first Olympic gold medal in women's double trap shooting.

She was the first American athlete to medal in five consecutive Olympics. In London, she even competed while pregnant with her son — and still won the gold in skeet shooting.

Rhode, now 37, hopes to become the first American to snag a medal in six consecutive games. "I wouldn't put it past me to go for another four or five [Olympics]," she said in 2012. "Why not? By the time I'm 53, I could have gone to five more."
