Kisumu County revived the centuries-old *Lwenya* (Luo wrestling) at the Kisumu Wrestling Festival on March 29, 2025—drawing 200 competitors and 12,000 spectators at Dunga Beach. Wrestlers, bare-chested and oiled, used only grip and leverage in matches judged by elders on skill and sportsmanship. 23-year-old fisherman Otieno Onyango won the open category, defeating a 10-time champion. The event, supported by the National Museums, included oral history tents and youth clinics. This is our WWE—and our philosophy, said cultural custodian Opiyo Wa’ng’ayo. County Assembly passed a motion to fund annual festivals and include *Lwenya* in school sports. Plans for a regional championship in 2026 are underway.
