African 100m record holder Ferdinand Omanyala says it is not all gloom after his third place finish at the Kip Keino Classic, a World Athletics Continental Gold Tour meet, in Nairobi over the weekend.
Omanyala placed third in a time of 10.07, a race won by Australia’s Lachlan Kennedy while South Africa’s Walaza Bayanda was second.
Speaking to Telecomasia.net after the race, Omanyala says he is focused on his next assignment, the Rome leg of the Diamond League, where he hopes to do better.
Ferdinand Omanyala
It wasn’t a bad race at all and I am happy with the result. Could have been better but I take the result and look at what I can do better. My focus this season is just taking one race at a time and not getting ahead of myself with anything. This is done now and the focus is on Rome and doing better. There are a few things I will be working on to try and see if we can get faster times.
The Kenyan is yet to dip under 10 seconds this season, but remains confident he will get faster in subsequent races.
