Welcome to a special First to 15 miniseries: The Golden Touch.

The Golden Touch is a First to 15 miniseries exploring the thrilling journey of Team USA as they secured their first-ever gold medal in women’s team foil at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Join us as we speak to the athletes, their coaches, and key support staff who made history in one of the most unforgettable Olympic moments for USA Fencing.

In this episode, we’re celebrating the unsung heroes who made it all possible: the cadre, or as we like to call them, the “team behind the team.”

Joining us are four key members of this incredible group:

• Dagmara Wozniak, a three-time Olympian and the current U.S. Women’s Saber National Team Coach, who served as team captain in Paris.
• Kate Reisinger, USA Fencing’s Chief of Sport Performance and the team leader in Paris.
• Liz Morey, the team armorer who ensured the athletes’ equipment was competition-ready.
• And Dr. Peggy Chin, USA Fencing’s Director of Sport Performance and the primary sports med provider for the team.

The guests also gave special shoutouts to the three other cadre members: Kaitlyn Litten, Adam Thompson and Bryan Wendell.
