One thing I love about Omanyala is that he's showing that distance running isn't all the Kenyans can do. He's breaking a stereotype to lead to something new. Just like that Kenyan javelin thrower Julius Yego. And what's more impressive is that the first African sprinter to run a sub 9.80 second 100m isn't even of west African origin or descent, breaking another stereotype. Ferdinand Omanyala has done something truly historic indeed.
Frankie Fredericks, a Namibian, won double silver twice at the Olympics (1992 & 1996) in the 100m & 200m. His records are 9.86s & 19.68s respectively. No other African, West Africa included, has done that so far. Simbine, a South African, had the record before Omanyala broke it. The 400m world record is also held by a South African; Wayde Van Niekerk. So I don't get where this West African thing comes from.

These times are pointless if he cannot replicate it when it matters, which is at the Olympics/WC. He ran in Tokyo and did nothing. And this was run at altitude. They say that the high altitude helps the sprinters, but it is a nightmare for the dance runners. He ran 10.00 in his semi, which wasn't good enough to make the final as one of the fastest losers.

And now, when the season is ending, he's running 9.76? These times are irrelevant if they cannot produce them on the big stage, because it isn't like they broke the WR.
Kenyans need to get on the politicians who run things to go back to the old days and be more diverse in their picking and training. I remember the old days.
Congrats Trayvon Bromel, what a fabulous start and finish!!~ Also, Kenya finally has a world-class sprinter, on top of their platoon of long-distance runners, in Ferdinand Omanyala! What a race!!~
First Su Bingtian with the Asian record 9.83 , then Marcell Jacobs running 9.80 to surprisingly win Olympic gold, and now Ferdinand Omanyala breaking continental records in the 100m dash this season, becoming the first African sprinter to do so from the continent. I just love how the other countries are catching up to the USA and Jamaica. It makes the sport even more exciting.
Yup, well said👍👍 And don't forget about Degrasse from Canada. He ran an insane 9.74 (wind aided +2.9,) beating Bromell and Kerley in that race. I agree, feels like the whole world has caught up with the US and Jamaica in men's sprints.👍👍
I just hope that even sprinters in Kenya can also be supported the same way as the long distant runners have been over the decades. I know we have many sprinters wasting away in villages with unexploited talents. Kenyans can do well in all sports!

Dude is slow as hell and always was. Now he is magically fast? Nah, fuck that.

Bromell drops the fastest time of the year and redeems himself from the Olympics. Omanyala breaks African record in front of home crowd of all places. And Gatlin proves he was right not to retire at age 39 by coming in third. Brilliant race!
No he didn't no redeem himself, only by winning an Olympic gold that he will ever redeem himself. This race means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of track and field.
Good to see Bromell still has these times in his legs, I wonder what slowed him down in the middle of the season. 9.77 and 9.75 is a great season, just stinks he didn't pull them out when he needed them most. He'll be back 💪🏿

Additionally, this was the 20th time Bromell has gone under 10 seconds, which is exactly the same amount as Coleman (who’s 20th run was also 9.76). Furthermore, each of their 9.76’s were also both for their 7th time under 9.9, as well as their second time under 9.8. Fascinating how all of those things aligned so well.
I loved that Omanyala my brother in Kenya and our American brother Trayvon stole the Nairobi show but we shouldn't have forgotten about the 200m winner then, and the Oregon 100m winner Fred Kerley....these are brothers that gives us a smile before we retire to our beds every athletic season. Happy Kenyan 😜
Bromell@40 meters: “I’m going run the year’s fastest time and leave this entire field eating my dust.” Omanyala@50 meters: “Hold my chai ya tangawizi.”
I knew that the African record was going to be broken sooner or later. Well done Mr Omanyala. Had he gotten a brilliant start, his time would have been even lower. Probably in the low 9.7s or even high 9.6s.

Additionally, this was the 20th time Bromell has gone under 10 seconds, which is exactly the same amount as Coleman (who’s 20th run was also 9.76). Furthermore, each of their 9.76’s were also both for their 7th time under 9.9, as well as their second time under 9.8. Fascinating how all of those things aligned so well.
Bromell ran 9.75 today n not 9.76
@@thehardertheyfall3764 No, he did not. The official time which you will see if you check on World Athletics is 9.76.
The difference being that Coleman is a big race performer, Bromell is NOT.
@@karrtt1234 Bromell has a world indoor gold and a world championship bronze. These games are the only healthy big meet that he failed to medal in.
It's crazy this has a million views. This has to be one of FloTrack's most viewed professional races
I loved that Omanyala my brother in Kenya and our American brother Trayvon stole the Nairobi show but we shouldn't have forgotten about the 200m winner then, and the Oregon 100m winner Fred Kerley....these are brothers that gives us a smile before we retire to our beds every athletic season. Happy Kenyan 😜
Kenya is a blessed country another légende is born..resting fathers fly him wings
Mannnn, trayvon gets you hyped up then crash when it matters the most! Anyway glad to see him running top form! I'm a fan 🇯🇲
Like Asafa?
Asafa is worst, he be pulling up!, never was a fan! You saw the 🇯🇲 and thought differently huh?🤣 naw try again
I’d love to see a race with Jacobs Omanyala Bromell Gatlin, DeGrasse and Bingtian, that would be an epic race
Bromell@40 meters: “I’m going run the year’s fastest time and leave this entire field eating my dust.”
Omanyala@50 meters: “Hold my chai ya tangawizi.”
, 😂😂😂chai ya??
@@philomenaminoo6236 I can clearly tell who wrote it isn't Kenyan but he's got brilliant banter 😂😂😂😂
@@dannelkamau what does that mean for us non Kenyans lol
@@moosieh1 “Chai ya tangawizi” means ginger tea.
@@niinmoni lol okay thanks 😊
This is what we've been missing, now we got it... Awesome job #OMANYALA
I knew that the African record was going to be broken sooner or later. Well done Mr Omanyala. Had he gotten a brilliant start, his time would have been even lower. Probably in the low 9.7s or even high 9.6s.
Good to see Trayvon smiling again!
Happy for Bromell..good job Omanyala and Gatlin.
Hell yeah was rooting for him all the way like I love a good comeback even though it's a bit late in the season
All day omanyala comes from behind and passes the rest of athletes.. imagine if he improoves his starting skill.... igweeeeee🙌🙌🙌
Omanyalaaa💪💪💪 Soon The world Will sing of Kenya as Africa's hotspot for short and long distance athletics🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
The future is bright for this guy. Barely a year ago very few knew him.
Africa has over 1.3 billion people. It's not surprising they can come up with a speedster.
The flying recovery speed from Omanyala is something you can't ignore😊
More athletics meets for Nairobi. A city never affected by the vagaries of weather.. Winter spring autumn etc it's summer all year round.
Perfect conditions for sprinting in the motherland!

Yes!
We Trust That God will move on the minds of Nike, Adidas, Puma, and Other Billionaire Sports Companies, along with Billionaire Businesses to be better stewards of what God has allowed them to have, to assist someone else financially and to help promote their Country!
Jesus is Good!
It was cold AF when I was there last month 😂
It has been cold since April. Nice, balanced weather though.
Omanyala... may the Ancestors light your path!
The ancestors are dead. They could not stop their own selves from dying. They have absolutely nothing to do with this at all.
kwa hii uanja hawatawai shinda Beast From the East tena!!! Uongooo!!! watch out Omanyala 2023 y'all!!!!
Ooh yes .Mighty Omanyala is on course.Kenya and Africa, something to smile about is here, and will be going to greater heights and will soon conquer the world.
Well done Omanyala, soon the skies will be truly yours. Salute for Gatlin, it is no joke for a dude his age!
Great one F.Omanyala...love from Nigeria!!!
I'm impressed by the guy who came second too. To run him down like that is crazy. Could we be seeing the next Bolt?
Or is this just a one time thing..
Imagine that dude getting solid starts?
Omanyala! Just wow!. I can see him doing better after working on his starting skills.
Gatlin and Bromell have a bright future too,.. World Athletics in Eugene will be explosive.
Gatlin is an amazing 39 yrs old, though still going for it.
Omanyala can try the 200 too like Bolt... That acceleration was🔥🔥
Justin Gatlin (3rd place) a serious contender at age 39. Unbelievable!!!
Oh its believable alright. The miracle of modern drugs, even after 10 years since he got caught.
Woooow is that a Kenyan, this guy is winning 🥇
Congratulations to all of them 👏👏African Africans are very strong. Congratulations to our own, Omanyala. Our ugali is doing great 😀 "Liboshe "
😂😂
Omanyala you made Africa proud, love from Kenya
Omanyala's acceleration between 60 metress and100 was the fastest in the entire race, super stong finisher. simply amazing to watch him do wonders for kenya and Africa.
I've been watching the Olympics for over 50 years I think it's my last time I'm going to see Gavin which he did amazing job with the four-legged race.
If the kenian guy fixes his start, it’s is lights out!
Bromell making a statement 🔥🔥🔥
For me this American guys came to support our very own omanyala God bless them this guy has been through alot especially with athletic Kenya.
With a better start and a finish like this he could easily run sub 9.7. Really impressed by Omanyalas performance.
