After Matt's latest debacle, the delegation from the Czech Republic in Beijing opted to throw a party for Katy and Matt—in honor of both their Olympic performance, and, their blossoming marriage. The Czech prime minister was even in attendance, and the minister of the interior apparently offered to help Emmons become a dual citizen.

In short, no couple has been more popular in the Athletes Village here in Beijing than Matt and Katy Emmons.

"The past few days have been a roller-coaster ride, but not a bad one, because I like roller coasters," he said. "We're going home with three medals, so I can't complain. With her by my side, that's the most important thing. Whether I win or lose, she'll always be there supporting me."

Now the sharpshooting couple has their eye on the London Olympics in 2012. But Matt says there is an even bigger target dead-ahead.

"We want to start a family," he said.
