Switching From Kenya To Bahrain To Make History

Winfred Yavi switched her nationality from Kenya to Bahrain in 2016, explaining that despite her long efforts to represent Kenya, the "stiff" competition prevented her from getting the chance.

Now, representing Bahrain, she has won her first-ever Olympic gold medal, beating two Kenyans in the 3000m steeplechase final 🥇 #bahrain #paris2024 #olympicgames #yavi
