Africa 100m champion and record holder, Ferdinand Omanyala, has won the men’s 60m race at Meeting de Paris.
Omanyala stopped the clock at 6.56 seconds, relegating Ivory Coast’s Arthur Cisse to second place, 0.1 seconds behind. Mickael Meba from France was third.
Despite winning, Omanyala narrowly missed, by 0.1seconds, his own national record set only last week. Omanyala did 6.55 seconds to set a new 60m Kenyan record on Wednesday, also in Paris.
The 27-year-old now trains his sights on the gold label meeting, Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais, at the Arena Stade Couvert, Liévin on Wednesday, February 15.
