There are 17 former and current Notre Dame athletes competing at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, France.
Notre Dame is an ELITE fencing program, so it should come as no surprise to see Fighting Irish athletes so well in the Olympics. Lee Kiefer is one of the greatest athletes in the world and already has a Gold Medal at home. On Sunday, she earned another Gold Medal in the Foil while taking down fellow American Lauren Scruggs in the Paris Summer Olympics.
PARIS — Lee Kiefer won back-to-back gold medals in foil fencing and her teammate Lauren Scruggs took the silver Sunday to make history as the first Black fencer to win an Olympic medal in an individual women’s event for the United States.
