Cherif Fall, Senegal's number one surfer paddles to the wave in the Atlantic Ocean in Dakar, Senegal, Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024. Instead of training in the waves off his Senegal homeland, Fall was wistfully preferring to be in Puerto Rico, where the last surfing qualifying competition for the Paris Olympics ends on Saturday. Senegal had nobody there to try and claim the last 14 spots for men and women because there was no money to send them, Fall says. (AP Photo/Sylvain Cherkaoui)
