Meet the 2004 Olympic Fencing Team
With an average age of just under 23, the United States is sending to Athens one of the youngest Olympic Fencing teams ever. And one of the strongest. In the months leading up to Athens, Team USA has won 18 individual World Cup medals against top European steel. And that's not counting the Men's Saber team's historic Team World Cup victory at the New York Grand Prix of Fencing this past June.
