Monica Aksamit Biography

Monica Aksamit is an American Olympic saber fencer with a career spanning more than two decades in international fencing competition. Aksamit began fencing at age nine at the Polish-American Fencing School in New Jersey and later trained at the Manhattan Fencing Center under coach Yury Gelman. She achieved early international success, winning a team silver medal at the Junior World Fencing Championships in Acireale, Italy, at age 18. The following year, she earned a team gold and an individual bronze medal at the Pan American Championships.

Aksamit attended Pennsylvania State University, majoring in kinesiology. As a member of the Nittany Lions fencing team, she contributed to two NCAA Team Championships and was the NCAA individual runner-up. She was a three-time All-American and finished her collegiate career with a 68-14 record. After college, Aksamit dedicated herself to qualifying for the Olympic Games. As a replacement athlete for the U.S. Women's Saber Team, she contributed to the team’s bronze medal finish at the Olympic Games, competing despite a fractured vertebra.

Aksamit continued to compete internationally, winning a gold medal with Team USA at the Pan American Games and earning multiple medals at the Pan American Fencing Championships. She also secured a gold medal at the USA Fencing North American Cup in Charlotte, North Carolina. Throughout her career, Aksamit has addressed the financial and physical challenges faced by elite athletes, including crowdfunding for travel and overcoming injuries, highlighting issues of athlete funding and resilience in competitive sports.

Outside of competition, Aksamit has developed a public profile as a fencing analyst for NBCUniversal’s Olympic coverage and as the host of the podcast "On the Fence," which discusses topics such as elite athletics and mental health. She has also worked as a model with Ford Models. Aksamit’s experiences in Olympic fencing, collegiate athletics, and sports broadcasting position her as a knowledgeable voice on topics including athletic achievement, mental health in sports, and the challenges faced by professional athletes.
