Led by captain David Rudisha, the Kenyan team looks like it will bring Kenyans good tidings and some gold medals in this years’ summer Olympics at London. So it with great pleasure that I bring you the list of the team Kenya that will be flying our flag high at the London Olympics.
This year, Kenya will participate in four sport categories:-
- athletics
- boxing
- swimming
- weightlifting
The last time Kenya participated in the weightlifting category was in 1996, so we are proud that this year we have a female representative by the name Mercy Obiro. We do wish her the best in the competition.
Below is a comprehensive list of the rest of the Olympic representatives:
