Africa’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala got off to a false start at the Mondeville Indoor Meeting in France on Wednesday night.
Omanyala was defeated by British athlete Adam Thomas in a photo-finish in the semi-final of the 60 meter indoor race, with both runners clocking 6.66 seconds.
Then Omanyala, who set a new national record in the 60m indoor by winning in 6.63 seconds at the Miramas Indoor Meeting in France last Friday, would finish fourth in 6.68 seconds in the final.
American Cravont Charleston won the final in 6.54 seconds as Arthur Cisse from Cote d’Ivoire clocked 6.57 for second place followed by American Devin Quinn in 6.65 in the World Indoor Bronze Tour.
Omanyala’s next race is the Pas-de-Calais, a Gold Tour event on February 17 before turning his focus on World Indoor Championships due March 18-20 this year in Belgrade, Serbia.
