Later that summer, Sabrina made history when she became the first U.S. athlete in any weapon ever to win gold at the Youth Olympic Games. In 2016, Sabrina brought home individual gold and team silver from the Junior World Championships.

Personal

Sabrina grew up as the daughter of three-time Olympian Greg Massialas and the younger sister of Alexander Massialas, but she has become one of the nation's most promising young fencers in her own right. Following back-to-back silver medal wins at the 2013 and 2014 Cadet World Championships, in 2014, Sabrina anchored the women's foil team to its first gold medal at the Junior Worlds since 2009.
