For the ladies to win five gold medals and one silver in Tokyo is no mean achievement.
Again, we had a female athlete competing in field events for the first time in history.
This week in Tokyo, Kenya again proved that it is an athletics powerhouse to the world. Kenya finished second overall in the 20th edition of the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo with 11 medals of seven gold, two silver and two bronze.
We finished second to the United States of America which collected a total of 25 medals of 15 gold, five silver, and five bronze. Our strong finish underlines our status as giants in athletics globally.
