Javelin champion Julius Yego believes Kenya's mix of experienced athletes and emerging talent will enable the team to compete for medals at the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games (July 3–August 2). Yego says the squad has prepared well despite stiff competition from other Commonwealth nations.
The National Olympic Committee of Kenya says the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games (scheduled July 23–August 2) are a critical stepping stone toward the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, with athletes earning qualification points at the Games. Team Kenya is training at Kasarani Stadium before departure.
Team Kenya has entered final preparations for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow (July 23–August 2), shifting from individual qualification trials to intensive residential training camps. Athletes including former world champion Timothy Cheruiyot are focusing on teamwork to maximize Kenya's medal prospects, particularly in middle and long-distance running.
Reigning Commonwealth Games 100m champion Ferdinand Omanyala, world 800m champion Lilian Odira, and former world 1,500m champion Timothy Cheruiyot have been named to Kenya's athletics squad for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, following national trials at Nyayo National Stadium.
Kenya's javelin star Julius Yego, a silver medallist and 2015 world champion, will compete in the Diamond League in Rabat after winning a sixth continental title in Ghana. He says the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics will mark the final chapter of his career, with immediate focus on the Diamond League circuit and 2027 World Championships qualification in Beijing.
Olympic silver medallist and former world javelin champion Julius Yego has announced the African Senior Athletics Championships in Ghana as his last African competition, saying his focus will shift to the World Championships next year and the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, after which he plans to retire and mentor younger javelin throwers.
Team Kenya returned home after securing 17 medals (five gold, five silver, seven bronze) to finish second behind South Africa at the CAA African Senior Athletics Championships in Accra. The squad is now shifting focus to preparations for the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
Ferdinand Omanyala won the men's 100m in 9.96 seconds at the seventh Absa Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi, while Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi took the men's 1500m in 3:34.11 and American Gabby Thomas won both women's sprints with world-leading performances.
Former world javelin champion Julius Yego finished fourth at the 2026 Kip Keino Classic with a throw of 79.87m in his first full run-up event following injury troubles. Yego cited technical inconsistencies as the reason for missing the podium but said he is focused on retaining the African Senior Athletics Championships title in Accra, Ghana this May, which he hinted could be his final continental competition.
