Omanyala storms to 9.78s to claim 100m victory at Botswana Golden Grand Prix
Ferdinand Omanyala won the Botswana Golden Grand Prix in a world-leading, wind-aided time of 9.78s, while Twanisha Terry won the women's category.
Then in the video, he talked about how he will break records and promised to give his home fans a show.
"...This day we are going to break records, and trust me when I tell you we're breaking records," said Omanyala
The Kenyan has the fastest all-conditions time in the world this year, with his time dropped in Botswana.
His Season's Best (SB) is 10.05s, but with his blazing form so far this year and running in front of his home fans, Omanyala is bound to drop that time by going sub-10s at the meet.
