PARIS — All three fencers on the U.S. women's saber team lost their opening bouts at the Paris Olympics on Monday under the cloud of an investigation that examined possible match-fixing in qualifying for the Games. Tatiana Nazlymov was competing a month after she testified at a 13-hour arbitration hearing in which two other fencers, including the team's Olympic alternate Maia Chamberlain, sought to dispute her place on the Paris team. Nazlymov and her teammates Magda Skarbonkiewicz and Elizabeth Tartakovsky all lost their round-of-32 bouts in the individual saber. They compete again as a team Saturday.
