Divine Iheme, a 14-year-old British sprinter, is making headlines with his impressive speed, breaking records and earning comparisons to legendary sprinter Usain Bolt. His recent performances have catapulted him into the global spotlight as one of the most promising young athletes.
Ferdinand Omanyala, Africa’s fastest man, is aiming to become the first man from an African nation to win the Olympic 100-meter title in Paris. His journey from a doping ban to becoming the 9th-fastest man of all time has inspired Kenyans and highlighted the country’s growing ambitions beyond distance running. However, Kenya’s track and field scene remains clouded by a doping crisis, with athletes battling poverty and unemployment, leading some to take performance-enhancing drugs. Omanyala, who maintains his positive test was due to medication for a back injury, hopes to leave a legacy of world-class Kenyan sprinters.
