Mwange represented Kenya at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed as the nation's lone rower in the men's single sculls, an event which was later dominated by defending Olympic champion Olaf Tufte of Norway. He won the F-final, yet placed thirtieth overall in this event by forty seconds ahead of Honduras' Norberto Bernárdez Ávila, with a time of 7:52.59.[2]
