Madagascar also went all out at the youth olympics. That semi final had me more anxious than the final.

Africa won, and Kenya made history, taking home gold at the first Youth Olympic Games hosted on African soil. What a moment for our continent and for the future of our sport.

And you irritated those South Africans with very loud "let's go Kenya" chants.

The first Kenyan team to win a medal at an Olympic games...and they made it Gold! Aaaah ni muuuuzzuuuuriiii... #Dakar2026 (๐ธ - @dkwere)
On Saturday we had our training at the venue, Iba Mar Diop. Rehearsals for the award ceremony were going on. Everything from medal presentation, national anthem and raising the flag. The girls asked if they will receive the same treatment should they win.
It was at this point that the girls promised a podium finish. I still can't get over that win yesterday.

The girls were all crying. The one who scored that winning try was literally screaming. The tournament doctor came to me asking me to check on her because it seems she is in so much pain. Tears of joy.
