NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) Traditional dancers greeted Kenya's winning rugby sevens team when it landed at Nairobi Airport.

The dancers - some donning the Kenyan flag - lined up on both sides of a red carpet as the players stepped off a flight from Singapore, where they won their first World Series leg after beating Fiji 30-7 on Sunday.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who had indicated he will personally receive the team, was not at the airport, with officials saying he was held up.
