Africa's fastest man will have to contend with extra competition following the addition of the World silver medallist to Friday's race in Italy. Ferdinand Omanyala will have to contend with further competition at the Florence Diamond League on Friday following the eleventh-hour addition of world silver medallist Marvin Bracy to the stellar line-up. Kerley (gold), Bracy (silver) and Trayvon Bromell (bronze) completed a memorable US shutout of the podium in front of their home crowd in Oregon last year and will go again in Florence. Bracy warmed up for Friday’s showdown by clocking a season’s best 9.93 at the Meeting de Montreuil in France on Wednesday. Florence see you in the morning,” Bracy said via a Twitter post after the race.
