Africa's fastest man Ferdinand Omurwa Omanyala believed that he has the capabilities of beating Usain Bolt's 100m world record of 9.58 seconds.
The 100m athlete is currently in Serbia preparing for the 60m World Athletics Indoor Championships scheduled for Friday, March 18.
Omanyala currently holds both the National and African record in the 100m with a time of 9.77 seconds.

"I believe nothing is impossible. The world record is not an exception. I believe that if there is anyone who can break that record, it is me.
"You see the African record. When I started sprinting people thought it would never be broken in this millennium or decade. But we did it last year.
"It just needs the perfect race. I have very good acceleration and top-end speed, and now I am improving on my start. Cutting that time won't be hard," the 26-year-old sprinter told BBC Sport Africa.
The 100m sprinter also noted that he is using the 60m races to help him achieve his long term goals.
"I really love the 100 metres. I treat the 60 metres more or less as training. It is training just to build up towards the 100m and to improve the start.
Omanyala added despite wanting to achieve his set targets he does not put unnecessary pressure on himself.
"I do not always look at what the community is putting on me. I am looking forward to running fast times and possibly getting under 9.58. We started at 10.01 in March. So you can imagine in four months, with competition, what will happen," Omanyala added.
