I'm working on the homepage tonight and there are a lot of articles coming from Kenya about how Samwel Imeta broke 10.00 for the 1st time last week.
He was recorded in 9.94 and Omanyala ran 9.81.
I get that the times in Kenya should be fast as it's at altitude but when I go to tilastapaja and world athletics, I don't see either time listed.
What's going on? Have they just not put them in the databases yet? Or was the timing off?
Imeta is 24 and had a 10.12 pb from the CGs so that would be a huge PB.
He does look fast, however.
Perhaps they are legit as Omanyala just beat Jacobs indoors and has run 6.54. In 2021, he ran 9.77 in Nairobi (in Sept) and last year he ran 9.85 in May.
