CHIBA, Japan (AP) — Five-time Olympian Mariel Zagunis was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the women's saber at the Tokyo Games but is still looking to the future.
The two-time champion is competing at her fifth Olympics. She's looking ahead to another medal shot in the team event. A sixth trip for the 2024 Paris Games is also a possibility.
The year-long delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic was a major frustration for Zagunis as she waited to see if the Tokyo Olympics would go ahead. Now it means only a three-year wait for Paris.
