Theme Week, Part Fencing

Jeremy Is In The Office Proudly Presents  
US Olympian or Foreign Head of State Week!  
 

Day 6: Sergio Mattarella


What's this?!  Theme Week Fortnight?!  How exciting for everyone, especially you, the reader.  


And for me, the writer, who doesn't have to come up with original crap for another whole week!  I can sit here and ride this Olympic wave a little while longer.  


So, all this week, we continue our Olympic Theme Week, where you get to decide whether the notable celebrity featured is a 2016 US Olympian, or the Head of State for a foreign country.  Today, Sergia Mattarella.  


Friday, we featured Gerek Meinhardt.  Certainly seems like a fairly regal title...but is it political royalty, or Olympic royalty?   Meinhardt is now officially Olympic Royalty, having competed for the United States in fencing!  Meinhardt competed in the Team Foil event at the fencing venue, where the US finished third with a tremendous 45-31 victory over a talented Italian team in the Bronze Medal Match.  The Americans lost their semi-final match to the eventual Gold Medal team from Russia.  Still, a spirited performance to represent the United States.  

Now, we move on to Sergio Mattarella.  Definitely a name of Italian descent, but is Mattarella a current Italian leading the government, or an Italian American competing in Rio?  You decide!
