Going into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, fans had big expectations that Kenya Sevens team would post good results, but a 31-12 loss against Argentina, followed by 21-7 humiliation by Australia, and a 26-0 21-7 capitulation in the hands of Samoa in Pool “B” matches put paid to any medal hopes.
Coach Kevin ‘Bling’ Wambua’s charges finished ninth in the 12-team competition held at Stade de France from July 24-27 after seeing off Uruguay 19-14 in the play-off for 9th to 12th places, then outwitted Samoa 10-5 in ninth place final.
