If it's one thing that I feel that gets very much almost no attention in the fencing world, it's spotlight on nations that don't have the resources or accessibility like the more stronger fencing nations. Senegal being one of them. So I personally love seeing stories about nations like this that have found success at the top level through their determination and making use of what they have to get to that level. Loved this video Slicer Sabre!
I've been in Lion since the beginning and was there for at least two years. It's an amazing club with good people I've known for years. I fenced from 2013 to 2019, but had to stop because the Senegalese federation was not doing much about national competitions. Lion couldn't participate due to a heated relationship with a federation that didn't want to innovate and save the sport. I remember there were many other clubs in Senegal back in 2013, and the national championship was something special back then. But now, it's just the same guys training together who compete in the small "national championship." Fencing is a sport I really love. Las, Konte, and I were in SIFA club back in the day. I was a cadet, and they were juniors at that time. It pains me to see Las and Konte's careers turn out like this because they were really talented, as were many others. But bad decisions from the federation led them to lose hope in their careers. I see a new generation coming forth, though, and it gives me hope as well. I hope Senegalese fencing will get back to what it was and go beyond. Meanwhile, we have Bineta Diongue getting ready for the Olympics in Paris! She deserves all the support she needs! Thank you for making this video! It brought me joy!!
I don't know anything about your fencing career, but I know that I have my ten year old son who has decided to learn sabre watch your videos to build his excitement and to inspire him. So thanks for that contribution to the sport. Remarkably, even with so many challenges, these people show so much joy. Maybe that's part of the beauty of fencing.

Keita is a true inspiration. His journey is what the Olympics is all about.
