Filipino-American fencer and Team USA’s Lee Kiefer bagged her second straight Olympic gold medal in the women’s individual foil.

Kiefer, who was the first American to win an Olympic foil gold when she triumphed three years ago in Tokyo, retained the title with a comfortable 15-6 victory over her younger teammate Lauren Scruggs in the final at the Grand Palais venue on Sunday.

“It’s insane,” said 30-year-old Kiefer, whose mother Teresa traces her roots to Tagum City in Davao del Norte, Philippines.

“These three years have been so short and so long at the same time. Every day it’s been a freaking battle and I have so many people to thank for helping me get here on this day, in this moment,” she added.
