Ferdinand Omanyala's younger brother, Isaac Omurwa has opened up on why he looks up to Jamaican sprinters apart from his elder brother.
Last season, Omanyala ran a total of 39 races, something he believes derailed him and cost him a medal at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
“We are reducing the number of races this season ahead of the Olympic Games. I’ve been making progress and it doesn’t matter the amount but as long as it’s progress,” Omanyala added.
Omanyala has enjoyed a great indoor tour, shattering his own national record twice and he will certainly hope to transfer the same energy to the outdoor races.
