ATHLETICS Where to watch Omanyala compete in his last race before World Championships
The Commonwealth Games champion has sweet memories of Austria since it was the first place he ever run under 10 seconds.
Amo-Dadzie clocked 10.04 to cut the tape ahead of Omanyala who clocked 10.07. Puerto Rico’s Khalfani Muhammad finished third in 10.51.
In a post on his Twitter account, Omanyala did not seem disappointed in his second-place finish and hinted that he is very much ready for the global showpiece.
He said: “10.08 and 10.07 yesterday in Austria. In everything we give thanks. All the races before the world championships done. The road to Budapest is now clear. Trusting the process.”
Omanyala opened his international outdoor tour with two races in South Africa where he reigned supreme in both. He then proceeded to the Botswana Golden Grand Prix where he reigned supreme to win the 100m in 9.78, wind assisted.
The Commonwealth Games champion then jetted into the country for the Kip Keino Classic where he also shone on home soil with a world-leading time of 9.84 before embarking on his Diamond League campaign.
He opened his campaign at the Diamond League Meeting in Rabat, Morocco where he finished third. He then went to the Meetings in Florence, Italy, and Paris, France, and managed to finish second in both.
