(NEWSER) – US fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad came to the Rio Olympics determined to show the world that sports is a place where Muslim-American women can excel. Muhammad will return to New Jersey with proof that she was right. The AP reports Muhammad, who became the first US Olympian to wear a hijab during competition, won a bronze medal Saturday along with her teammates—Monica Aksamit, Dagmara Wozniak, and Mariel Zagunisin—the women's team sabre event. The US beat Italy 45-30 to clinch third place and the first women's medal in fencing for the Americans in Rio.
