What you need to know:

  • Before heading to Budapest, Omanyala had made history as the first Kenyan to win a 100m race at the Diamond League, claiming victory in Monaco.
  • Now, with the 2025 season underway, Omanyala is determined to regain his top form and make a statement on the global stage.

Despite the wintry conditions, Africa’s fastest man, Ferdinand Omanyala, is hopeful for a strong performance at the Athletics South Africa (ASA) Athletics Grand Prix II on Wednesday at the University of Johannesburg.

This will be Omanyala’s second and final race on his South African tour before he returns to Kenya to prepare for the Botswana Golden Grand Prix, a World Athletics Continental Gold Tour event scheduled for April 12 at the National Stadium in Gaborone.
