Michael Phelps wasn’t the only college student that made Olympic history last week. Sada Jacobson, Yale ’06, did too by being one of the three Americans who took all the medals in the fencing competition – a feat that hasn’t been done since 1904.

Apparently, after etching one's name into the history books, there’s nothing left to accomplish in sports, because Jacobson is retiring from competitive fencing.

Yes, at the tender age of 25, Jacobson has had enough. And so, she’s putting down the saber and picking up – a law book?!

Hmm – athletic fame or law school obscurity? Don’t think she made the right call...
 

In any case, the above video comes courtesy of CBS, and it is an interview they did with the lovely Jacobson (on the left) after her historic victory. Below, you'll find Sada in action.

Mmm, look at those delicious -- parries.
