Daria Schneider (born 21 May 1987) is an American sabre fencer, team bronze medallist in the 2011 and 2012 World Fencing Championships.
Schneider was born in Berkeley, CA, but grew up in Brookline, MA. She took up fencing when she was 10 under the coaching of Ariana Klinkov, who orientated her towards sabre. She joined the USA cadet team in 2002. After high school, she chose to study Russian literature at Columbia University because she wanted to be in New York. She was also interested in training under Yury Gelman. She won the 2007 NCAA Championship,[1] then took a leave of absence to train for the 2008 Summer Olympics. She failed to qualify for the Games, but she was selected in 2009 into the USA senior team. After her graduation in 2010, she was named assistant fencing coach. She became director of fencing operations in 2013-14.[2]
