Dakar Youth Olympics: Kenya wins women’s rugby sevens gold

Kenya won the women’s rugby sevens tournament at the Dakar Youth Olympic Games on 3 November 2026. The Kenyans beat Australia 17-12 after extra time; Madagascar completes the podium with bronze.

World Rugby reports that Mitchelle Chemtai scored the decisive point in extra time at Complexe Iba Mar Diop. Sénégal5 corroborates the final score and Kenya’s gold medal.

Australia therefore finishes second. Madagascar’s bronze is also reported by World Rugby and the Malagasy press.

The final closes the women’s tournament after three days of rugby sevens. This is a Youth Olympic result, distinct from the senior Olympic Games.
