ATHLETICS Ferdinand Omanyala shares secret on how to achieve top-three finish in a race
The African record-holder has shared a tip on how an athlete can make it to the podium.
“The lack of support is not only in the sprints and tennis but also in other events. I was saddened by the Rugby Sevens team not going to Dubai.
One thing I just want to tell the other athletes is that challenges will always be there but they have to use what they have to get what they want.
You cannot always be depending on support from different angles and you’re not putting in the work yourself…never give up.

RUGBY Why Shujaa and Lionesses missed Dubai Invitational tournament ahead of Olympics
Shujaa withdrew from the Dubai Invitational Tournament on Thursday, casting doubt on their Olympic preparations due to undisclosed challenges.
Always push yourself like I did, like Okutoyi is doing and certainly, doors will open,” Omanyala said during a media interview.
On his part, introducing sprints in a country that was never known for short-distance races was an uphill task for the Kenyan but he kept pushing relentlessly.
His hard work and commitment paid off well and he is now the African record holder. He also finished among the top five fastest sprinters in the world this year, courtesy of his dominant exploits at the Kip Keino Classic, clocking 9.84 to win the race.
