Italy has been kind to Kenya’s Commonwealth Games 100 metres champion Ferdinand Omanyala who now refers to the European nation as his “second home.”

After finishing second in the Italian city of Florence in Friday’s Diamond League round, Omanyala pitched camp in Italy ahead of his Paris Diamond League assignment this Friday where he will renew his rivalry with American showman Fred Kerley for the third time this season.
