Aug 10 - Fencer Mariel Zagunis won the first U.S. gold in Beijing, further minting an American rise from obscurity to the leading-edge of the sport.
The 23-year-old was the first American to capture gold in fencing saber in 100 years when she won in Athens, while Zagunis says after a 1-2-3 U.S. sweep in individual saber medals, a team win is now expected.
Dan Sloan reports from Beijing.
