Kenya is known for its runners above all else. While there will certainly be plenty of those at the Paris Olympics this week, the country is also sending its first fencer Alexandra Ndolo. The German-Polish-Kenyan athlete decided to compete for her father’s home country in 2022. Her debut comes amid growing efforts by the Tsavora Fencing Club to make fencing more accessible for Nairobi’s youth. The World’s Africa Correspondent Halima Gikandi has the story.
