Fencer Kirsten Hawkes poses for a portrait at a fencing studio Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023, in San Diego. The former elite fencer feels let down by the U.S. Center for SafeSport after filing a complaint to the agency formed six years ago to combat sexual misconduct in Olympic sports. Hawkes’ former coach, who she accused of forcing an unwanted kiss on her and other abuse, never went on a list of the agency’s disciplinary database — not after SafeSport handed him a three-month probation, nor after the probation was overturned by an arbitrator.

Maria Lia Zervino one of the first women chosen by Pope Francis to be on the Dicastery for Bishops poses for a picture during an interview with the Associated Press in Rome, Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023.
