A four-time Olympian, Kiefer is a 2020 and 2024 individual Olympic champion. She is the first American foil fencer in history to win an individual Olympic gold medal.[3]

## Fencing career

[edit]

Team USA (from left: Nzingha Prescod, Sabrina Massialas, Nicole Ross, and Lee Kiefer) in 2015

Kiefer was born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up in Lexington, Kentucky.[4] Her mother Teresa, a psychiatrist, was born in the Philippines and immigrated to the U.S. as a child, and her father Steve, a neurosurgeon, once captained the Duke University fencing team. She graduated from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in 2012. She attended the University of Notre Dame, where she fenced for the Fighting Irish and graduated in 2017.[5] She is now a medical student at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine.

Her sister is former Harvard foil fencer and 2011 NCAA champion Alex Kiefer, who is now a doctor.[6] Kiefer also has a younger brother, Axel, who was the 2015 USA Fencing National Championships Junior Gold Medalist, and who also attended and fenced foil for the University of Notre Dame, coming in second in the 2019 NCAA Championship.[7]

Kiefer earned a bronze medal in women's foil at the 2011 World Fencing Championships.[8] She placed 5th at the 2012 London Olympic Games, after losing to eventual silver medalist Arianna Errigo in the quarter final, 15–10. In the 2014–15 season she climbed her first World Cup podium with a silver medal in Saint-Maur.[9] She went on to win the Algiers World Cup in early 2015 after defeating world No.1 Arianna Errigo, who had prevailed over her in Saint-Maur. By winning at the 2014 NCAA Fencing National Championships, she joined her future husband, male fencer Gerek Meinhardt and swimmer Emma Reaney as part of the 2nd Notre Dame Fighting Irish trio to be named individual national champion in a single year and the 4th to be either individual national champion or national athlete of the year in a single year.[10]

Following her win at the Long Beach Grand Prix on March 18, 2017, she moved into #1 in FIE world rankings, becoming the first American woman to hold the #1 position. She qualified to represent the United States in fencing at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo in 2021 and reached the final in the individual foil.[11] In the final, she defeated Inna Deriglazova, the defending champion from Russia, with a score of 15–13 to win gold,[12][13] becoming the first American, male or female, to win the gold medal in Olympic individual foil.[14]

She is representing the United States at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, in the women's foil and women's team foil on July 28 and August 1, 2024.[15] Kiefer defended her gold medal in the individual foil, defeating Lauren Scruggs in the all-USA final.

## Personal life

[edit]

Lee and fellow foil fencer Gerek Meinhardt began dating in January 2012. They were engaged in January 2018 and married in September 2019.
