After his trail-blazing FBK Games victory on Sunday, Kenya’s Commonwealth 100 meters champion Ferdinand Omanyala has joined Team Kenya at their pre-Olympics training camp in Miramas, France.
This strategic move places him in an optimal position as he prepares for the 2024 Paris Olympics, a mere 740 kilometers north of the camp.
