Liberia’s Joseph Fahnbulleh says Africa is ready to challenge America’s dominance on the sprint circuit.
The 21-year-old was born in Minnesota in the United States but elected to race for the country his mother left because of political turmoil when she was 12.
“For a while, it’s been the the Americans. There’s a shift to the African side – I like that,” Fahnbulleh told the BBC World Service podcast The Warm Up Track.
“We are taking it by storm, but slowly. We’re not overwhelming, but you see more and more [African athletes] every year. I feel good about it.”
