   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!!!!

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

   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!
