Mariel Zagunis, the most decorated U.S. fencer in history, is going to a fifth Olympics at age 35 — and her first since giving birth to daughter Sunday Noelle in October 2017, according to the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee.
Zagunis, who owns four combined individual Olympic and world sabre titles, qualified after a satisfying weekend of competition in Athens, site of her Olympic debut and breakthrough gold medal in 2004.
On Saturday, she won a World Cup event for the first time since Jan. 29, 2016 and since becoming a mom.
