Omanyala's heroics earn him new training partner from South Africa
Kenya's Ferdinand Omanyala competes during the men's 60 m race during the Elite Indoor Meeting at the Stadium Miramas Metropole, in Miramas, southern France, on February 3, 2023.
Bruintjies, the 2018 Commonwealth Games 100metres silver medallist hopes that joining Commonwealth Games and Africa 100m champion, Ferdinand Omanyala’s stable will help him run fast times
Omanyala has personal best of 9.77sec in 100m that is also an African record set at 2021 Kip Keino Classic and 20.33sec in 200m attained at the National Championships last year
Bruintjies and Omanyala first met during the ASA Athletics Grand Prix 4 at Germiston Stadium, Johannesburg on April 13 last year where the Kenyan prevailed in 9.98 seconds
If you can't beat them, join them...so the saying goes.
That aptly describes South Africa’s sprinter Henricho Bruintjies plans to shift his base to Kenya to train with Africa’s finest sprinter ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
