Monrovia Honors Olympian Kim Rhode

Monrovia held a celebration last night honoring Olympian and Monrovia resident Kim Rhode on her record setting achievements at the Olympic Games.

Kim is the only American to win medals for an individual event in five consecutive Olympics.

She won gold in 1996 (Atlanta), bronze in 2000 (Sydney), gold in 2004 (Athens), silver in 2008 (Beijing) and gold in 2012 (London).
