Team USA Wins Women's Fencing Gold in Paris

Lee Kiefer has cemented her legacy by leading the United States to its first-ever gold medal in women's team foil fencing at the Paris Olympics, defeating top-seeded Italy 45-39. Kiefer, who has now won three Olympic gold medals, showcased her skill with a notable performance throughout the tournament, including a decisive semifinal victory over Canada. Together with silver medalist Lauren Scruggs, Kiefer contributed significantly, even overcoming a late rally from Italy's Arianna Errigo in the final match.

This victory also represents the first time the U.S. has won two gold medals in fencing during a single Olympic event.
