Two Kenyan swimmers have qualified for the Olympics Games having gone through a selection process based on the top-ranking points from FINA qualifying events.
Rosafio gave an incredible performance at the FINA World Junior Championships in Budapest, Hungary thereby achieving the top 730 points in 100m freestyle.
Muteti's performance at the 2019 African Games in Cassablanca, Morocco, earned her the qualification as she achieved the top 698 FINA points in 50m freestyle.
She is currently preparing for the games at Grand Canyon University in USA while Rosafio training at the Loughborough University in United Kingdom.
Abdulmalik Abubakar and Fakhry Mansoor will accompany the duo to the Olympic Games as the team manager and coach respectively.
The global event set to begin on July 23-August 8 in the Japanese capital, Tokyo.
There are now 90 Kenyan athletes who have qualified for the Games.
