Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Africa and Commonwealth 100m champion Ferdinand Omanyala is targeting a sub-10 second display at the 2022 ISTAF World Continental Tour Silver meeting in Berlin, Germany on Sunday.<\/p>\n

However, Omanyala said he is not under the pump as he had achieved all the targets he had set for the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy race will be in the afternoon. I am under no pressure because I have achieved all the goals I had set for this year. However, I am hoping to go under 10 seconds,\u201d Omanyala said.<\/p>\n

Omanyala said the year has been a blessing to him despite the visa hitch that he encountered ahead of the World Championships in Oregon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am feeling great. This has been a long season but I am happy it\u2019s coming to an end. I have bagged three major titles and I am happy about that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Omanyala placed second at the just-concluded Spitzen Leichtathletick World Continental Tour in Lucerne, Switzerland, saying he expected the results to turn out that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically, it\u2019s about having fun now that the season is over. Lucerne happened how I expected because the weather conditions were not favourable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Talking about the future of sprints in the country, Omanyala said he believes his recent victories have inspired many young athletes. \u201cI am sure I have motivated so many upcoming sprinters and I believe the future is bright,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He, however, observed that the journey to the top is not for the faint-hearted.<\/p>\n

\u201cAthletics is a sport of ups and downs but people only get to see the success. For instance, sprints require a lot of discipline and persistence. Upcoming sprinters should learn to endure the pain that comes with the hard work invested in training,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the challenges, they should always keep their dreams alive because challenges are just here to make us stronger. Personally, I have had injuries, financial constraints among other challenges but I have been able to put up. I thank God because he gave me the mental strength to keep pushing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Omanyala says he is not content with the African and Commonwealth titles but will work towards being an Olympic and world champion as well as the world record holder.<\/p>\n
