I was perusing around online, and I found this article on Fashionably Geek about an armored woman winning a longsword competition. Her name is Samantha, and she most recently won the longsword competition February of this year at the Harcourt Park World Invitational Jousting Tournament.

What I found so awesome about the whole thing is that I never even knew I could learn European Martial Arts! Young Sarah would be really sad right now, because she had to teach herself on Xena episodes and Hearts and Armour.
