Kenyan Omanyala still gets US visa for athletics world championships
12:39 Ferdinand Omanyala, the fastest man in Africa, will still receive a visa for the United States in order to participate in the World Championships in Athletics. His trainer reported it Thursday to the AFP news agency.
Omanyala had announced earlier Thursday that he could not compete at the World Championships in Athletics in Eugene due to a visa delay. “Even if I get a visa today, it will be too late,” said the disappointed Kenyan athlete, who was due to start the 100 meters, the heat of which is already scheduled for Friday.
“Omanyala got his visa this morning from the Ministry of Sports. He can be on the run tonight and arrive in Oregon tomorrow morning,” his coach Duncan Ayiemba said.
