Ferdinand Omanyala kicked off his season in Nairobi, Kenya, with a strong performance in the 200m race. He clocked a time of 20.40s in the heats, marking the fourth fastest time of the season so far. The reigning African champion in the 100m is determined to run below 20 seconds in the 200m event this season, with his sights set on competing in both the 100m and 200m races at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Another Kenyan sprinting star made headlines in Nairobi – former national champion Mark Otieno, who made a comeback after a two-year absence. Otieno won his heat in the 100m race with a time of 10.41s.
