Maia Chamberlain '22 and rising sophomore Tatiana Nazlymov competed with the U.S. women's saber team on Saturday, closing their Olympic Games by helping the Americans to a fifth-place finish.
Each competed in a 45-35 quarterfinal loss to eventual silver medalist South Korea, with the Tiger pair combining for seven touches across three bouts.

Chamberlain had 12 touches in the three bouts in the fifth-place match.
The team competition concluded the Games debut for each. Nazlymov also competed in the individual women's saber event, taking a 15-14 loss in her round-of-32 match.
