Kenya’s teenage sensation, Athena Diamantidis, has expressed her delight after claiming gold and bronze medals at the 2026 World School Games Swimming Championships in London last weekend.
The ten-year-old Kenyan’s journey to success was not easy. Competing against older and more experienced swimmers from around the world, Diamantidis had to fight through fear, pressure, and exhaustion before reaching the podium.
The competition, organised by the World School Games, brought together more than 600 swimmers from 41 countries across five continents.
