Commonwealth Games champion Ferdinand Omanyala wiped off the disappointment of finishing seventh at the World Championships with an assured win at the Zagreb Continental Gold Tour last evening .
Omanyala clocked an impressive 9.94 seconds to win the race ahead of Jamaican Oblique Seville and Olympic Champion Marcell Jacobs respectively.
The Kenyan had a disappointing finish at his first ever World Championship final in Budapest, where he came home a disappointing seventh, and after the final admitted that his body had refused to fire.
Seville clocked 10.07 seconds, in second place while Jacobs was third in 10.08 seconds
This was a perfect warm up for the African record holder, and a massive confidence boost ahead of this weekend’s Diamond Trophy final in Eugene.
