- ALT1: ... that Victor Alvares de Oliveira is Cape Verde's first Olympic fencer – and the country's first-ever professional fencer at all? Source: Olympics.com ("To add to this real-life fairytale, he will represent his father’s birth country, Cape Verde, at Paris 2024, becoming the African nation's first-ever fencer at the Olympic Games ...
