Because of one lesser-known sport, the U.S. went from zero to three medals.
United States gold-medal winner Mariel Zagunis is flanked by silver medal winner Sada Jacobson, left, and bronze medal winner Becca Ward, right, on the podium after the women's individual saber at the Fencing Hall of the Beijing 2008 Olympics in Beijing today.
Zagunis took the gold with a 15-8 victory over Jacobson in the finals.
Regardless of the sport, three red, white and blue flags being raised should always be an inspiring sight, espcially for those yet to compete.
