Confusion mars Omanyala's victory at Botswana Grand Prix
Ferdinand Omanyala wins the first semi-final heat of the 100 metres races during the second leg of Athletics Kenya Track and Field Weekend Meeting on February 25, 2023 at Nyayo National Stadium.
World Athletics had indicated that Omanyala had stormed to a huge 100m world lead at the Botswana Golden Grand Prix on its Facebook page
Omanyala’s absence from the podium where winners were being awarded raised eyebrows with an Athletics Kenya official who was attending the World Athletics Continental Gold Tour event, saying in a telephone conservation that Omanyala might have been disqualified for lane infringement
Botswana Golden Grand Prix Media Officer Calistus Kolantsho said that the lane infringement was not picked up by the timers or reported to the timers
Ferdinand Omanyala’s victory in men’s 100 metres at the Botswana Golden Grand Prix on Saturday in Gaborone has elicited confusion.
