Mariel Zagunis gave the United States its first gold medal of the Beijing Olympics on Saturday as she retained her women’s sabre title with a 15-8 victory over her compatriot Sada Jacobson in the final.
Athens champion Zagunis led an American clean-sweep of the podium places with 18-year-old Becca Ward seeing off Russia’s Sofiya Velikaya by just a single point, 15-14, in the bronze medal match.
In the final Zagunis, runner-up in the 2006 world championships but ranked just fifth in the world this year, went ahead 5-2 and then took the next leg 10-5 for a 15-8 final scoreline which reflected her dominance.
The Americans benefitted from the early exits of medal-contenders Elena Nechaeva of Russia, the reigning world champion, and France’s Leonore Perrus.
They were also given a helping hand by Velikaya’s crushing 15-9 quarter-final victory over China’s Tan Xue, the Olympic silver medallist of four years ago, whose exit before the medal stages disappointed home fans.
The United States are the favourites for the overall team competition, featuring in the Olympic programme for the first time, which takes place on Thursday.

Modern Olympics
After the initial success, the Olympics struggled. The celebrations in Paris (1900) and St. Louis (1904) were overshadowed by the World’s Fair exhibitions in which they were included. The 1906 Intercalated Games (so-called because they were the second games held within the IIIrd Olympiad) were held in Athens, as the first of an alternating series of Athens-held Olympics. Although originally the IOC recognised and supported these games, they are currently not recognised by the IOC as Olympic Games, which has given rise to the explanation that they were intended to mark the 10th anniversary of the modern Olympics. The 1906 Games again attracted a broad international field of participants—in 1904, 80% had been American—and great public interest, thereby marking the beginning of a rise in popularity and size of the Games.
From the 241 participants from 14 nations in 1896, the Games grew to nearly 11,100 competitors from 202 countries at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. The number of competitors at the Winter Olympics is much smaller than at the Summer Games; at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin Italy, 2,633 athletes from 80 countries competed in 84 events.
The Olympic Games are one of the world’s largest media events. In Sydney in 2000, there were over 16,000 broadcasters and journalists, and an estimated 3.8 billion viewers watched the games on television
