FILE - In this June 2, 2016, file photo, Team Visa athlete Ibtihaj Muhammad leads an interactive fencing demonstration in New York. This year more than ever, the so-called ``face'' of the Olympics could be a wrestler, or a fencer, or an athlete who most of the world has never heard of before. Visa, an Olympic sponsor for the past three decades, has a long list of the well-known _ Walsh-Jennings, Franklin, Carli Lloyd _ along with those who are not yet household names. Namely, Muhammad, the Muslim fencer who chose her sport in part because it allowed her to compete while wearing a hijab. (AP Photo/Charles Sykes, File)
