<Nationalism/>Americans won a fencing gold</nationa
« on: August 23, 2004, 06:13:58 AM »
Okay. It is the first medal in my sport we have won in a really long time.  For those that might not of guessed, yes I was a fencer.  I had dreams. I had bad knees.  So now I just watch.

When I can, they seldom if ever televise Fencing, because nobody seems to care.  After all, the last medal in the sport we won was over a decade ago. I just found out about her win today because I wanted to see the point and match totals to see how badly we lost.

ALL HAIL OUR LITTLE HERO!!!!

Mariel Zagunis
United States
Age: 19
DOB: March 03, 1985 Sport: Fencing
 Height: 5' 8"  Weight: 143 pounds

08/17 Women's Individual Sabre Finals
Gold Medal Match Mariel Zagunis USA DEF Xue Tan CHN (15-9 (:54))

Nominate her for a wheaties box!!!

She won a GOLD MEDAL.  WE had a couple of almosts, losing bronzes in two teams and one individual mens event. But she one a gold medal.  

Someday we will regain our fencing powerhouse status of the late 70s early 80s.  But for now.

Yeah, but the Italian women's fencing team got some major revenge in the 2012 games.

Gold, Silver, AND Bronze. Dang.

Is it bad that I didn't watch one event the entire Olympics?

Awesome on her though. Always great when the underdog comes out on top!
