Encounter Ferdinand Omanyala, a true epic. The Kenyan sprinter will be in Eugene after it now appears that his participation in the world championships has completely disappeared due to the refusal of a visa to enter the United States.
To confirm the attendance of Omanyala was coach Duncan Ayimba. As Repubblica also reported, the 26-year-old Kenyan coach will be able to arrive in Oregon before the start of the 100m qualifying, which takes place on Italian night.

Now it seemed impossible for Omanyala to be able to participate, Since the Kenyan himself wrote in the last hours: “It’s over. There’s nothing I can do. It’s been the longest waiting day of my life and I don’t like waiting.”
At the Tokyo Olympics, Omanyala was the first Kenyan athlete to reach the Olympic semi-finals in the 100-meter sprint. Eugene’s goal is to reach the final and then also play for a medal. Umanyala last year ran a time of 9’77 at home (African record) even if with a wind of 1.2, while the best time of the season was 9 inches 85, back in Kenya in May.
