    About this ebook

    The U.S. women’s sabre team came into the Rio Olympics with high hopes but also facing some controversy. Fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first Muslim-American Olympian to wear a hijab, had received both praise and criticism for her groundbreaking appearance and her candid opinions. Fencing along with Mariel Zagunis, America’s fencing legend, Muhammad joined a foursome battling for a medal among tough international teams from Russia and Italy. Their journey through the Olympics, told in the style of 16 Days of Glory, details the 2016 fencing tournament which tested their mettle as individuals and their ability to represent diversity and teamwork at its finest.
