Africa 100m record holder Ferdinand Omanyala has vowed to bounce back strongly from his woes in Oregon and record an improved time at the forthcoming Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Omanyala surmounted a visa hitch to reach Oregon before cruising to the semi-final of the 100m, making him the first Kenyan to achieve the milestone. In an exclusive interview with Capital Sports on Tuesday, Omanyala said he would brush aside his heartbreaking experience as he sets his sights on a podium finish in Birmingham. I'm looking forward to better the time that I ran here and enjoy and have fun,” Omanyala said. Omanyala admitted that failure to get a visa on time saw him arrive for the event late and worn out.
