Omanyala will compete in the semis early evening, and will be looking for a first ever qualification to the final.

The Commonwealth Games champion will definitely be the highlight athlete for Team Kenya on day two, but here is a run-down of what to expect in the evening session in Budapest.

5:35pm – Men’s 100m semi-finals

Omanyala easily glided past the Heats on Saturday night, finishing second behind Noah Lyles with a sub-10 return of 9.97. He was effortless and looked extremely comfortable on the night.

As he usually says, competition makes him better and it was evident as he glanced over to Lyles as they neared the finish line.

In the semis, he lines up in Heat One, which is a star studded affair. He competes against Olympic Champion Marcell Jacobs, and Lyles.

He has been allocated lane five and will have Lyles to his left and Japanese sensation Abdul Hakim Sani Brown to his right.

If successful, he will line up for the final later in the night, at 8:10pm.

6:05pm – Women’s 1500m semis

Another darling of Kenyan athletics, Faith Kipyegon, will be in line for the semis of the women’s 1500m as she seeks a third world title. Kipyegon, in scintillating form this season, literally jogged to win her heat on Saturday, but is expected to engage a gear higher for Sunday evening’s semi.

She lines up in heat two, where she will compete against perennial rival Laura Muir of Great Britain, Jessica Hull of Australia and the biggest name on the competitors’ list, will be definitely that of Sifan Hassan.

The Dutch lady slipped and fell 50m to gold in the women’s 10,000m on Saturday night, and will turn that disappointment to fuel for her 1500m quest.

Meanwhile, Kenya’s two other representatives in the race, Edinah Jebitok and Nelly Chepchirchir who was the fastest in the heats, will line up in the first semi-final.

6:30pm – Men’s 1500m semis

After the women, it will be the men’s turn to battle for places in the final in the three-and a half lap race. Former champion Timothy Cheruiyot, Abel Kipsang as well as reigning world junior champion Reynold Cheruiyot have all made the semis.

Kipsang will line up in the first semi, and will be up against the likes of Yared Nuguse (USA) and Mohamed Katir (Spain).

The second semi will be star studded, with the two Cheruiyots competing against reigning Olympic champion and silver medalist from Eugene Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Josh Kerr of Great Britain.

7:25pm – Men’s 10,000m final

You will have to go all the way back to 2001, for the last time Kenya won the 10,000m title at the World Athletics Championships. Charles Kamathi waded off Ethiopian competition that included the great Haille Gebresellasie to win the title, and the Kenyan team in Budapest will need to summong the spirits of Kamathi as they look to quench the title thirst.

Daniel Simiu, Nicholas Kimeli and Bernerd Kibet will have the duty to try and get the medal back home, but it will not come easy.

Kimeli won the Kenyan trials in June, and will be the name to watch out for as he looks to guide his teammates to try and clinch medals.

In Eugene last year, Kenya managed silver, with Stanley Mburu coming home second behind Uganda’s Joshua Cheptegei.

The defending champion will be back to try win a third successive world title, and he will be the highlight name in the field.

However, there will be several names to watch out for, including the Ethiopian duo of Berihu Aregawi and Selemon Barega.
