Omanyala beat odds to qualify for 100m semis in Oregon USA

After experiencing delays to have his US VISA and arriving late for the competition, undeterred Omanyala came third in the heat seven to qualify for semi finals.

The first position was clinched by Japanese Abdul Hakim Sani in 9.98 seconds while Edward Ose-Nketia came second in 10.08.

Omanyala like, many other athletes around the world experienced VISA hitches and so arrive late for the competition.

The Africa’s fastest man title holder Omanyala has been having a successful season after emerging top at the World Continental Tour at Kasarani, and other impressive performances at the KipKeino Classic and at the Africa Championships.
