Kenya's Serah Wangari Kimani clinched a bronze medal in the women's 10,000m at the Tokyo 2025 Summer Deaflympics after an initial fourth-place finish was upgraded due to disqualifications. This unexpected win has reinvigorated her resolve to aim for gold in her upcoming 5,000m and marathon events.

• Wangari secured Kenya's bronze after seven athletes, including third-placed Chunhua Yang of China, were disqualified for illegal shoes, boosting her from fourth.
• The medal increased Kenya's tally to one gold, two silvers, and one bronze on Day 3 of the games.
• Sports Principal Secretary Elijah Mwangi reinforced the government's commitment, announcing rewards of Sh3 million for gold, Sh2 million for silver, and Sh1 million for bronze medalists.
