Africa’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala will take part in the FBK Games in Hangelo, Netherlands on Sunday, his last event before the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Omanyala will be up against top sprinters such as Canadian Andre De Grasse, the Olympics 200m champion and 100m bronze medalist, with six men on the entry list having dipped under 10 seconds.
They include Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme and Jamaica’s 2011 world champion Yohan Blake.

What Ferdinand Omanyala will earn at his last event before Paris 2024 Olympics
Ferdinand Omanyala will feature in one more event, the FBK Games in Hangelo, before the Paris Olympics but what is in store for him and his rivals?
The BFK Games, which is a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold, offers Omanyala a chance to gauge his levels of preparedness given he heads to the Netherlands in great form after clocking 9.79 in Nairobi last month, the second fastest time in the world this year.
Who else in in Hangelo?
Home favourites Sifan Hassan and Femke Bol will once again be headline performers in Hengelo this weekend as the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold continues with the Fanny Blankers-Koen Games.
On the Dutch track where she set a world 10,000m record of 29:06.82 in 2021, the 31-year-old Hassan is back to defend the 10,000m and 1500m titles she won at this meeting last year – performances that were sandwiched between her winning marathon debut in London in April and a second victory over 26.2 miles in Chicago in October.
