They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and this could not be truer for Kenya’s top speedster Ferdinand Omanyala and his son, Quinton Finn Omanyala.
On a weekend when Omanyala senior made history by becoming the first Kenyan to win a 100 metres race in the Diamond League, Omanyala junior was simultaneously dominating the track at his school’s sports day.
Omanyala’s fiancée, Laventa Amutavi, took to social media Saturday to share a video that captured some of the moments at Quinton’s sports day at Kasarani Junior School.
With pride, Laventa drew a comparison between their son and his dad, as Quinton outpaced fellow students to win “gold”.
“What is your why??? @quintonfinnomanyala is my why. @ferdiomanyala look at your son. He wants to be just like you. #sportsday #inspiringkids,” she wrote.
Unsurprisingly, Laventa, an athlete herself, won the parents running competition, to make it a hat trick of wins for the Omanyalas.
Check out all the action in the video below.
