Kenyan shooter Priscilla Mburu receives a second Olympic Solidarity Scholarship, boosting her quest to win a historic medal at the LA 2028 Games.

Kenyan air rifle shooter Priscilla Mburu has set her sights firmly on a podium finish at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, bolstered by a prestigious second nod from the Olympic Solidarity Scholarship program.
Mburu, who missed out on the Paris 2024 cycle due to logistical hurdles, describes the scholarship as a "vote of confidence" from the global sporting body. Her journey highlights the diversification of Kenya's sporting prowess beyond the track and field dominance that the nation is famous for.
The scholarship, administered locally by the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK), is a game-changer for athletes in technical sports like shooting, which require expensive equipment and international exposure. Mburu is among a select cohort of eight Kenyans, including tennis sensation Angella Okutoyi, chosen for this elite support pathway.
Shooting has traditionally been viewed as an elite, inaccessible sport in Kenya. Mburu’s rise challenges that narrative, inspiring a new generation to look beyond the running track. With the financial burden eased, the gun is now in her hands to deliver.
