What a way to end the campaign! The Kenya national Rugby Sevens team, Shujaaz, concluded their Olympics journey on a high note on Saturday, avenging an earlier defeat to Samoa with a 10-5 victory to secure 9th place.
John Okeyo scored two unconverted tries, one in each half, leading Kenya to their second win of the Olympics. They had previously defeated Uruguay in an exciting playoff semi-final on Thursday.
In other placement matches, Uruguay defeated Japan 21-10 to finish 11th, while Argentina bested the USA 19-0 to take 7th place.
This marks Kenya's third consecutive Olympics appearance, finishing 9th after failing to advance to the quarter-finals due to group stage losses against Argentina, Australia, and Samoa.
The win against Samoa on Saturday was particularly sweet, as it avenged their 26-0 group stage defeat.
