News Cape Verde Sports: Mum's Facebook post gets her kids into the Olympics
Cape Verde has never won an Olympic medal, and despite the country sending only four swimmers to the Olympics 2020, Latroya, Troy and Jayla Pina have all been chosen.

They hope to follow in the footsteps of Simone Manuel, who in 2016, became the first black female swimmer to win an Olympic gold medal.
