Ibtihaj Muhammed Named to Time's List of The 100 Most Influential People

http://time.com/collection/2016-time-100/

"Even as a kid, Ibtihaj Muhammad stood out. She was faster and stronger than her friends, and she was serious about her religion. Most of the sports she tried required physically revealing gear, in sharp contrast to the modesty her Muslim faith required. Then she discovered fencing. The sport let her express her athletic talent, and the uniform allowed her to stay true to her faith."

Amazing!!  

Please turn on Outside the Lines on ESPN. They have a special interview with her now (9 AM). If you miss the interview it repeats again later in the morning. Ibtihaj is featured on the later half of the show.

Ibti just won her match 15-13. It was a nail biter. The lead kept going back and forth.

For those of us who are uninformed, what happens next?  Does all of her Olympic participation take place today?  When will she compete again?

It looks like she's split recent matches against her next opponent at 11am:

A profile by the BBC - it is currently "above the fold" on their website!

It looks like she's been eliminated from the individual sabre event in the table of 16.

She will be in the saber team on Saturday.  Time to be announced.

I had the great fortune to meet Ibtihaj this evening as she visited USA House in Rio. I must say even after five Olympic Games I was a bit star struck speaking with her. She was wonderful to take the time and I observed her with many fans taking selfies and speaking.

Great example of the best that Olympians represent. I'm a big fan.
