Africa’s fastest man, Ferdinand Omanyala, has won Kenya its first gold ever in the Commonwealth Games ongoing in Birmingham, England.
Omanyala beat the windy situation to clock a 10.02 seconds lead ahead of defending champion Akani Simbine of South Africa who finished at 10.13 seconds and Yukun Abeykoon who emerged third at 10.14seconds.
This comes barely a week after Omanyala bowed out of the semis in the recently concluded World Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA.
