The way Nigerians are hyping everything concerning this AFCON because of Super Eagles, just reminds me of Nigeria 1999 age group tournament as well as Ghana/Nigeria AFCON 2000 both of which ended in premium tears.

Maybe he was an athlete or had the training. Sprinting is actually faster than short strides

GODWINLOWSKI:
A 'DRAMATIC' Africa Cup of Nations referee stole the show in Nigeria's win over Guinea-Bissau.

Kenyan official Peter Waweru Kamaku had fans on Twitter in stitches for his mad sprinting and hand gestures.

Referencing Tom Hanks' 1994 movie classic Forrest Gump, one wrote: "Run Forrest run."

Another joked: "This man is running like he's chasing a taxi."

One added: "Is that Tom cruise in mission impossible."

Reacting to Waweru blew the final whistle, a fan posted: "What a dramatic referee!"

Goals from forward Umar Sadiq and defender William Troost-Ekong saw Nigeria qualify from their group with three wins and all nine points.

But Waweru's refereeing clearly had a lasting impact on fans watching the game.

Off the field, according to Wikipedia, the official graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science in university.

That was before also achieving a master of Science in Pure Mathematics.

Since 2019, Waweru has served as a senior lecturer at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.

But in 2011 he started refereeing and by 2017 was listed as a Fifa official.

If he was younger, he would achieve fame and fortune as a 400m athlete. Those legs, the strides would fetch lots of medals.

The over serious physical posture of the man in the entire match was something else....especially after that second goal he was waiting for VAR
Re: Peter Waweru, AFCON Referee Running Techniques Goes Viral (Video) by hardeygates(m): 7:38pm On Jan 21, 2022
grin cheesy This ref has really won many hearts
Apart from his Usain bolt strides..... He didn't issue a single card all through the game Guinea Bissau vs Nigeria
