Sada Jacobson (on the right against Zagunis) lost the final in women's saber to teammate Mariel Zagunis, winning the silver medal as part of a US sweep of the event and becoming the first Jewish athlete to medal In Beijing.
Jacobson is a veteran fencer, having won the bronze medal at Athens in 2004. Zagunis also won this event in Athens, where she became the first American in a century to win a fencing gold medal. The American women's team, consisting of the medal winners, are now the favorite to take the gold medal in the team saber event later this week.
