The first US Olympian to wear a hijab during competition, fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, has won a bronze medal along with her teammates in the women's team sabre event.
Muhammad came to the Rio Games determined to show the world that Muslim-American women can excel in sports and she will return home to New Jersey with proof that she was right.
The U.S. routed Italy 45-30 to clinch third place Saturday and the first women's medal in fencing for the Americans in Rio.
