ATHLETICS Sprinter Monica Safania questions why athletes have to pay to access training facilities in local stadiums
Sprinter Monica Safania has raised concerns about why athletes have to pay if they are to train at the Nyayo and Kasarani stadiums.
Omanyala’s 2023 season has been full of glamour despite him failing to impress at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
He became the first Kenyan to win a Diamond League Meeting after his dominant exploits at the Meeting in Monaco. Omanyala also ended the season among the top five fastest men in the world this season.
He achieved this feat courtesy of his world-leading time of 9.84 at the Kip Keino Classic but he was later replaced as world leader by Great Britain’s Zharnel Hughes.
