Kenyan sprinter Ferdinand Omanyala Saturday shattered his own National Record to qualify for the Olympic Games 100 meters semi-finals.
Omanyala set a new personal best and national record of 10.1 seconds after finishing third in Heat 5 to qualify for the semi-finals.
Canadian Andre de Grasse won the heat in 9.91 seconds while American Fred Kerley came in second in 9.97 seconds.
Earlier, Nigerian Divine Oduduru was eliminated from the race controversially for a false start.
The other Kenyan sprinter Mark Otieno Odhiambo was on Saturday suspended from the Olympics after failing the doping test.
