It was at this Olympic games that Muhammad became the first female Muslim-American to win an Olympic medal! Her team won a bronze medal for fencing. Muhammad later had a Barbie styled after her, which is a pretty awesome and big deal. The photo below was shot at Glamour’s 2017 Women of the Year Awards.
