Pan American Games.

Evidently there was some confusion over which events (foil, epee, saber) would be run.

An AP story from yesterday says that the U.S. has gold medaled in women's saber (Sada Jacobson) and men's foil (Dan Kellner).

The story says the American national anthem wasn't available so the fencing team captain (Jeff Bukantz) led the team and fans in singing it.

See here for details.
