Grancy Jebichii Kandagor (born 2000) is a Kenyan track and field athlete who has specialized in long-distance running.[1]
She made her maiden Deaflympic appearance during the 2021 Summer Deaflympics (held in May 2022) and claimed her first Deaflympic medal during the course of the multi-sport event in the women's 10000m event.[2] [3] She was initially in firm contention of winning the gold in 10000m event but eventually lost her way out as she picked up a knee injury after falling down during the race.[4] She settled for a bronze medal and she insisted that they planned for a Kenyan podium finish in the event but the plans were ruined with few stumbling blocks. Coincidentally, her fellow Kenyan compatriot Serah Wangari claimed silver medal in the same competition.[5] The medal achievements of both Wangari and Grancy is also the first time that Kenya had secured a medal in the 10000m race at a Deaflympic event. The medals were also the first set of medals won by Kenya at the 2021 Summer Deaflympics.[6]
