On Saturday during the #KipKeinoClassic at Kasarani, Omanyala, the owner of the Kenyan record of 9.86sec set last month in Europe, faced the fastest man this year, Trayvon Bromell of the USA, who was keen to sign off the season in style after a disappointing #Olympics Games.
In that start list also was, easily the most accomplished runner in the field, Justin Gatlin, a multiple World Champion and Olympics gold medallist over the distance, and the fastest man ever to compete on Kenyan soil with a stupendous 9.74sec to his name.
No sooner had the announcement been made that the men’s 100m was about to start than the entire sports desk at @NationAfrica Centre got to their feet and moved closer to the giant TV screen in our corner of the newsroom. - Charles Nyende
