Africa's fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala says he will take one step at a time as he gears towards the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Speaking at the teams residential training at the Moi international Sports Centre Kasarani, Omanyala, said he will take one step at a time to make sure he gets to the final and thereafter give his best shot to make sure he gets to the medal bracket.

“I won’t put myself under preparation ahead of the competition I know I am training well and will be ready to put in a good performance when the games begin,” said Omanyala

The world’s fastest man this year is joined by the duo of Zablon Ekwam and Wiseman Were in 400m and 400m hurdles, respectively, in this year’s edition.

The trio say they are ramping up their training to make sure they make the country proud in the summer games.

“I can’t talk about the medal when we have heats and semifinals to race so it’s one step at a time when I get to the finals, then it will be fireworks, “added Omanyala

Omanyala also lauded his coach, Geofrey Kimani for proper guidance in his career, insisting it has really inspired his growth

“He is a role model because when we reunited the first thing, he told me I have to go back to school and finish my degree that is what I am doing now it has taken a lot of pressure from me because, after training, I have something to do,” stated Africa's fastest man

The Kenyan team will head to Miramas, France on Wednesday next week to continue their intensive training camp.
