Sprinter SYDNEY SIAME claims he will use the All Comers Meet athletics championship, scheduled to take place at the Levy Mwanawasa stadium in Ndola the following week, to build momentum before competing in various events this year.
The Ndola outing is crucial, according to SIAME, as it will establish his level of fitness for various engagements.
He claims to be aiming to finish his race in 10.02 seconds, which will be a solid start to the year after holding a personal best record of 10.03 seconds last season.
The reigning champion in the 200 meters at the All Africa Games says he wants to start the year off well since it will boost his chances of winning back the championship in Ghana this year.
