National 100m record holder Ferdinand Omanyala improved his record on Thursday as he blazed to a sizzling 10.02 seconds during the Tokyo Olympics trials at Kasarani.

Although Omanyala had earlier clocked 10.01 during a meet in Nigeria last year, Athletics Kenya (AK) has been hesitant to recognise the record, saying the event was not sanctioned.
