'Bullet maybe'- Africa's fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala hilariously recounts objects faster than him

The Commonwealth games champion was engaged in a Trivia about objects or animal he would race.

Africa's fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala has humorously recounted objects or animals that could beat him in a race.

The 100m Commonwealth Games champion was engaged in a Pulse Sports trivia where he was asked which one would he race between a Cheetah and a Boeing plane.

The Cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world, reaching speeds of up to 120kph.

Omanyala hilariously dismissed the cheetah as non competition pumping chest and claiming that he would win.

"Put the Cheetah aside first of all. Haven't you seen the video of a guy saving an Antelope from a Cheetah while running past the Cheetah? That's me," he jokingly said.

The Kenya sprinter just as easily brushed of the Boeing plane, pointing out that it would need to pick up speed first.

"Even a Boeing can't catch me because by the time it picks up speed I will be done by the distance. By the time it reaches me, I will be waving to the pilot. So either way I'm ready for both challenges."

"Bullet maybe and it better not let me go first," Omanyala joked about the only object that could take him on in a race.

Omanyala is the 100m African record holder and the ninth-fastest man of all time in the event after clocking a time of 9.77 seconds on September 18, 2021.
