This year’s Summer Olympics was a complicated sporting event, to say the least, and not only because it was delayed a full year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unfortunately, the celebration was cut tragically short for fencing coach Anthony “Buckie” Leach, who died over the weekend after having recently returned home from Tokyo.
It’s all over now, with the U.S. taking home a total of 113 medals.
One of Team USA’s 39 gold medals was earned by female fencing standout Lee Kiefer, the first American to win the gold in individual foil, which was a huge victory for all involved.
