World champion fencer (saber) Sada Jacobson Bâby received her Hall of Fame induction medal this summer at a private ceremony in Atlanta, hosted by IJSHOF Executive Board Member Dr. Steve Wertheim.
Jacobson, unable to attend last summer’s formal inductions in Israel, was elected in 2012. The World’s #1 ranked women’s sabreur in 2004 and Olympic medalist in 2004 and 2008, Sada is the daughter of David Jacobson, a member of the 1974 U.S. National fencing team, and highly-ranked fencer Tina Jacobson; the sister of U.S. Olympic teammate Emily and world-class fencer Jackie. Her husband, epee competitor Brendan Brunelle Baby, was a member of Pennsylvania State University’s three NCAA championship fencing teams.
