this man is a machine 😮😮 Ferdinand Omanyala 's five best achievements

In 2015 Ferdinand Omanyala began his athletics career in Kenya as a chemistry student the University of Nairobi.[1] He made this move after a friend noticed his speed while he was playing rugby. He made the switch from rugby to track and only a few weeks later he ran a time of 10.4s in his first AK meet in Kakamega. The same year, he won the national Olympics trials over the 100m distance in a time of 10.37s but never met the qualifying standard for the Olympics which was 10.16s at the time.
Following a doping offence in 2017 Omurwa received a 14-month suspension. He tested positive for the prohibited substance betamethasone, after undergoing treatment for his back injury which he got during training.
Omurwa (other name) won the national title on 100 m in 2019.
Omurwa set a national record of 10.01 seconds in the 100 meters in winning a meeting at Yabatech Sport Complex, Lagos (NGR) on 30 March 2021.[4] At the 2020 Summer Games 100 metres semi final he set a new national record of 10.00 seconds.[5] He was 0.04 behind eventual silver medalist Fred Kerley and 0.02 behind eventual bronze medalist Andre De Grasse. Omanyala then ran a new personal best of 9.86 seconds in Austria in August, becoming the first Kenyan to ever break the 10-second barrier.[6]
On 18 September 2021, he ran a 9.77 (+1.2 m/s) for a new African record at the Absa Kip Keino Classic held in Nairobi, Kenya coming in a close second place behind Trayvon Bromell, who ran the 2021 world leading time of 9.76.
Omanyala won Kenyas first gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth games in Birmingham, becoming the first Kenyan to win a gold medal in the 100 metre race.
