Kenyan swimmer Emily Muteti officially secured her qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after achieving the ‘B’ qualifying time in the 50m freestyle at an international meet in Belgrade. Muteti, who is based in the United States, has been steadily improving her times and has been a trailblazer for Kenyan swimming. Her qualification is a significant milestone, as it ensures that Kenya will have representation in the pool at the Olympics. She dedicated her achievement to her family and coaches, who have supported her journey. Muteti now aims to improve her time further and achieve an ‘A’ qualifying cut, which would allow her to compete in more than one event in Paris.
