Usually, social media-savvy, Omanyala has gone mute on his platforms after a disappointing World Athletics Championships outing in Budapest, Hungary.
Commonwealth Games 100m champion Ferdinand Omanyala’s mental status has taken a nosedive after his underwhelming performance during the recently concluded World Athletics Championships held in Budapest, Hungary in August.
This is according to his coach Duncan Ayiemba, who revealed that Omanyala decided to take a break from social media activities to recharge his batteries after failing to get on the podium much to the disappointment of everyone who had been rooting for him.
