sorry to be fencing on main again for the first time in years but damn. scruggs v kiefer. a great bout, even it was short (kiefer's backline mistake at the start was. yikes). scruggs is going places, though, and I think we'll see her do amazing things in the future.

Lauren Scruggs 🤺

becauseofthem:

It was all a dream!⁠

Lauren Scruggs is a 21-year-old rising senior at Harvard University, and a New York City native, ABC News reports. A star fencer, @saucyscruggs has already made quite the name for herself, a member of the First Team All-American at the collegiate fencing level and a fencing mentor for underserved communities at the prestigious Peter Westbrook Foundation. Westbrook himself won a bronze medal for Team USA at the 1984 Summer Olympics, Scruggs crediting him as a huge impact on her career. ⁠

This past week, Scruggs made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics, facing off against fellow Team USA competitor Lee Kiefer in the women’s individual foil final. Despite the loss to Kiefer 15-6, Scruggs still walked away victorious, earning a silver medal and becoming the first Black American woman to earn an individual medal in women’s fencing at the Olympics.⁠

“I think my success in fencing has helped break stereotypes about what Black people can do and who can be a fencer,” Scruggs explained.⁠
