The 19-year-old from Philadelphia won gold in April 7 in Junior Team Women's Foil at the 2022 World Cadets and Juniors Fencing Championships in Dubai.

A first-year understudy at Princeton University, Weintraub addressed the U.S. Alongside colleagues Rachael Kim, Zander Rhodes and Lauren Scruggs, every one of whom contended in the Junior title for contenders under 20.

The occasion facilitated by the International Fencing Federation highlighted in excess of 30 nations, including Israel, Ukraine and Singapore. There were 148 fencers in the singular rivalry and 32 groups.

The Junior U.S. Group confronted its most prominent difficulties against enemies Italy and Japan, and Weintraub kept up with her group's lead all through the competition.

However a group activity, each fencing session is a singular occasion, with a fencer from one group clashing with another, attempting to score up to five focuses, or contacts, inside the three-minute round. Each group attempts to score an aggregate absolute of 45 places, with every fencer refocusing.

In the middle of scoring contacts, Weintraub was worried about another significant count: her GPA. The fencer kept on going to classes essentially and complete midterm tests during the competition, chasing after her inclinations in nature and science.

"It's difficult being an understudy competitor at an Ivy League school," said Weintraub's dad Jason Weintraub. "As you can envision, most of her teachers don't have the slightest care about that she's going all over the planet addressing the U.S. What's more, Princeton. They're more inspired by her own scholastic commitments."

Not wrapped up with her second 10 years of life, Weintraub has accomplished fencing eminence, filling in as the primary substitute in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In March, Weintraub came out on top for the NCAA individual weapon title in her introduction, turning into the 6th Princeton understudy to bring home a singular title and the second to come out on top for a foil title. The prior month, she came out on top for the Ivy League individual title. She additionally contended in the 2019 European Maccabi Games.

As well as contending at the school level, Weintraub is peering toward a spot in Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

"Fencing is exceptionally extraordinary. I feel like it's not one of those sports where you can simply get a foil or weapon and begin," Weintraub said in a December 2020 Jewish Exponent interview. "You need to devote yourself to learning the specialty of fencing before you can really get it done. Furthermore, I imagine that committing that time and deciding to do it makes it exceptional."

Weintraub started fencing at 9, taking a fledgling's fencing class at the Fencing Academy of Philadelphia with Maître d'Armes (expert of arms) Mark Masters.

Weintraub's uncles — who themselves grew up fencing in their old neighborhood of Detroit — encouraged Weintraub's advantage in the game. They had prepared under similar tutor as Masters and made the underlying association between the two.

However Masters had prepared three title holders before, his preparation was simply ready to take Weintraub up until this point, as the Philadelphia fencing scene stayed less serious than its shafts on the East and West Coasts in New York and California.

Without solid rivalry, Weintraub's advancement would level.

"With fencing, to have the option to rehearse the game, you should accompany others, and you want to fence against others — that is the way you improve," she said in 2020.

In secondary school, her folks took the jump toward permit Weintraub to head out by transport to the Manhattan Fencers Club, a safe house for anticipated fencers. Notwithstanding actual intense exercise double seven days, Weintraub some of the time went to Manhattan three times each week after school, finishing schoolwork on her transport drives.

In center school, Weintraub was keen on playing the violin, and her family was involved at Folkshul Philadelphia to furnish Weintraub with a social Jewish establishment. While fencing turned into a genuine pursuit, her folks turned.

"We perceived before long that she has a genuine love for the game. We needed to fuel her energy in something since that is essential to us," Jason Weintraub said.

Aces perceived the energy also. In the round of "actual chess," a fencer's brain must be just about as sharp as their developments. However Masters treats generally his young understudies something similar, he frequently faculties potential in a right off the bat in their capacity to deal with the tension of an extraordinary 3-minute session.

Weintraub was a "cash player," as indicated by Masters, somebody he could wager on to perform at the most elevated level.

"The other individual who might be doing fine previously — abruptly there's more in question. They get restless, they get apprehensive, and they commit more errors," Masters said. "A cash player is someone who, when the stakes are higher, will perform better. That is a significant trademark, truly, of each high level competitor."
