Silver Medal Team
Mona wins GOLDMona Shaito, Cadet Women's Foil Gold Medalist, Junior Olympic Championships 2011
|
2012 Olympians Mona and Zain Shaito will be heading to LONDON this summer to represent Lebanon in the 2012 Olympics. BOTH won their Asian Zonal Qualifier, not an easy task when one considers how strong the Asian countries have become in fencing in recent years! Zain was already on top of the world having won the NCAA Championship in Men's Foil; Mona was 3rd in Women's Foil. They helped their team, Ohio State University Buckeyes, win the team championship, too! Coach Nazlimov said Mona was the pivotal win for the women finishing 3rd in her individual event. Zain had to beat fellow FIT teammate and Notre Dame fencer Enzo Castellani in the gold medal bout to become the Men's Foil NCAA Champion! You can bet the entire FIT Family will be watching for any glimpse of the foil events during the 2012 Olympics! Lock-in, pizza party and big screen tv - watch the Yahoo Group for announcements!!! Olympic dreams are expensive ones. You may make a dontation to FIT for Team Shaito to help with Coach Volodymyr's and the family's expenses in London.

My son hasn't fit in with any sport and hasn't been very athletic. He now loves fencing, enjoys the people at FIT, and is showing promise athletically. ~ML | ||||||||
