Kenya Sevens are the Dubai World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series champions.
Patrick Odongo scored two tries to inspire Shujaa to the gold medal after seeing off a stubborn Chile 12-7 in the finals played at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai on Sunday.
Odongo gave Kenya the lead inside the opening minute after busting through the right wing to touch down near the corner, a tough conversion that Anthony Omondi sent between the posts for an early 7-0 lead.
A series of mishandles and knocks gifted Chile an opportunity to get onto the score sheet through Benjamin Videla who cut the lead to 7-5 at half time.
In the final half, Odongo once again took matter to his own hands to send Kenya to a 12-7 lead after missed conversion, a one possession lead they defended to be crowned champions.
