National women volleyball team Malkia Strikers served off their Olympic campaign with a loss against the hosts Japan on Sunday, but there were a lot of positives from the African queens despite falling 15-25, 11-25 and 25-23.
It was a meeting between the fifth ranked nation in the world and the 24th ranked side, but despite the scoreline, there was evidence that Kenya was slowly closing in on the rest of the world.
