New Jerseyan contingent on U.S. Olympic fencing team
There won’t be anyone from New Jersey or anywhere else for that matter sitting in the stands at the Tokyo Olympics, which begin on July 23. But the coronavirus lockdown isn’t keeping Garden State athletes out of the competition. A total of 24 Olympians hail from here. Among them are world-class competitors in men’s basketball, women’s soccer, track and field, equestrian, baseball, women’s rowing, judo, swimming and other sports.
The U.S. Olympic fencing team has a sizable New Jersey component, who make up 20% of the team. They are Dagmara Wozniak (Avanel), Jackie Dubrovich (Riverdale), Khalil and Kamali Thompson (Teaneck), Alen Hadzic (Montclair) and Francesca Russo (Wayne).
