Kenya has officially entered the race to host the 2029 World Athletics Championships, submitting a government-backed bid aimed at bringing the event to Africa for the first time.

• Nairobi faces stiff competition from London, Rome, and Munich.
• The bid was submitted by Athletics Kenya (AK), highlighting the government's commitment to organizational framework, security, and infrastructure.
• If successful, Nairobi would be the first African city to host the premier World Athletics Championships, building on its history of hosting youth and cross-country events.

Kenya's national swimming team is "buoyant" and aiming to reclaim their top position at the upcoming East Africa School games in Morogoro, Tanzania, after a narrow second-place finish last year.

• A squad of 30 swimmers (15 boys and 15 girls) will represent Kenya.
• The team is led by National boys' most valuable swimmer Isaiah Munene and girls' leader Kamwele Maina.
• Kenya faces strong competition from defending champions Uganda, as well as improving teams from Rwanda and hosts Tanzania.

• Kenya clinched a total of 11 medals, including four gold, three silver, and four bronze.
• The Kenyan Under-20 team outperformed all other African nations, with Ethiopia being the closest competitor with six medals.
• Notable performances included Josephine Sembeyo Mancha winning gold in the women's 1500m despite a fall and a lost shoe, and a dominant gold-silver finish by Wilson Chepkwech and David Kapaiko Sekento in the men's 1500m.
