In a world first, Kenya provided KSL-Tactile Commentary for the National Para Games goalball final on November 27, 2025—where deafblind spectators received real-time match descriptions via hand-over-hand signing from trained interpreters seated beside them. Sport isn’t just seen or heard—it’s *felt*, said Grace Akinyi, lead tactile interpreter. Over 42 deafblind fans attended—the highest turnout in event history. NOCK mandated tactile coverage for all national finals starting 2026. The World Blind Union invited Kenya to co-develop global standards at its 2026 Geneva summit.
