America Sweeps Saber Fencing

Outstanding.

A trio of American flags were raised to the rafters at the Olympic Fencing Hall as tears streamed down the face of Mariel Zagunis, winner of the first U.S. gold medal of the Beijing Olympics.

“It was a dream come true,” said Zagunis, who led an American sweep of Saturday’s women’s sabre fencing.

Zagunis secured the gold with a 15-8 victory over Sada Jacobson, who won the silver. Becca Ward took the bronze.
