During the Olympic Day celebrations held yesterday in Port Moresby, Leon Thomas of Oceania Fencing introduced the sport to students from different schools.
The Oceania region is considered as a development zone of fencing and Thomas believes that if they spread the word and generate more interest, the code can gain a following in other Oceania countries considering PNG’s population, geography and influence in the region.
Thomas, who took part in four World Fencing Championships, was pleased with the interest shown by participants in Port Moresby.
