Rogge noted rugby sevens that was included in the roster for the 2016 Olympics Games would make an impact at the occassion, singling out Kenya as one of the nations that have potential of achieving a medal in the shorterned version of the game in what would be a first team podium finish in the history of the event.

"Kenya should aim to develop into the top nation in Africa and I believe Rugby 7s will be a great success story of the 2016 Games," added the Belgian who played rugby for his national team.

Rogge is in the country to open the Kipchoge Keino Secondary School in Eldoret on Friday and a private visit to world famous Masai Mara National Game Reserve the day after.

It is the second time for the IOC chief who inaugurated a multi purpose training centre in Lusaka during his Zambian visit following his first call in 2005.
