    Posted on USFA Website:
    The US Fencing Association has just received word that Mariel Zagunis has qualified to the Olympic Games.
    This brings the total number of US qualifiers to 14!
    The only countries with more qualifiers are France (16), China (15), and Russia (15).

    !!!!!!!!

    Yay!

    It's nice to know that despite all the stuff that happened in Italy, she was still able to go. She's an important addition to the US team.

    Congratulations to Mariel

    She showed a lot of character during the qualification path to the Olympics, and even more after it appeared she wouldn't be able to compete in Athens.
    All of us want to see her succeed!
    CONGRATULATIONS!

    That was embarassing. I looked at the qual. list 3 or 4 times before writing that too. Corrected the article.

    Just received a quote from Mariel Zagunis on making the Olympics:

    "this was the best weekend of my life!"

    While the USFA and most of the community that reads this site have known all day, they only found out a couple of hours ago upon getting off the plane.

    I can't even imagine it. Having a great tournament where you dominate your opponents (Zagunis was up 8-1 against Touya at the break) and then getting welcomed home to news that you are going to the Olympic Games.

    Very cool!

    She has earned this so much, and I can't think of anyone who deserves it more. I am sure that she will do very, very well for herself.

    Crush them, Mariel! And do not stop until the only sound is the lamentations of their women, err, in this case, men.

    Is there a web site which carries the match by match results of the Tauberbishofsheim Tournament?
