Nobody could have believed that the Kenya Sevens rugby team would make it to the 2024 Paris Olympics after they were relegated from the World Rugby Sevens Series last year for the first time in 23 years.
But one man, Kevin ‘Bling’ Wambua, made the impossible possible as he steered the youthful side to glory, literally killing three birds with one stone.
With a short-term contract after succeeding Briton Damian McGrath in August 2023, the former Mwamba RFC coach had his work cut out.
First, he guided Kenya to a memorable 17-12 victory over rivals South Africa in the Rugby Africa Men's Sevens 2023 final to secure a back-to-back ticket to the Olympic Games before defying the odds to stun Germany 33-15 in the World Rugby Challenger Series relegation and play-off duel in June 2024 to bounce back to the World Sevens Series.
