The statement "overcoming the odds" takes on far richer meaning when looking at the life US Olympic fencer Keeth Smart. Not only did he compete in a sport a tiny fraction of Americans do, but he dominated in it, even taking an Olympic medal in 2008. This would be extraordinary for anyone, but especially a boy from Brooklyn, and one meant simply to "watch his sister compete." Most recently, though, Smart is winning at business and parenting as he discusses with his "fencing fan", James.
