Day six of the 2026 Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal, was a quiet one for Team Kenya, with only the swimmers in action. Baseball5 and women’s sevens rugby concluded their competitions on Tuesday, with the sevens rugby team winning gold to place Kenya 15th in the medals table.
In swimming, two Kenyans were in competition in the early events of the day on Wednesday. Isabella Mwangi was in heat five of the women’s 50m freestyle event, where she finished fourth and missed out on a place in the finals.
In her second event of the competition, Macrine Kalombo finished first in her heat of the women’s 100m freestyle with a time of 28.19 seconds. Despite finishing first, she also missed out on a place in the finals.
In the men’s triathlon, Robin Robert will be the sole Kenyan representative in the competition on Thursday morning.
The 3x3 basketball competition will then start on Friday morning, with Kenya taking on Fiji and China on the opening day.
