Letsile

Botswana's Letsile Tebogo is ticking all the right boxes of being the next Usain Bolt in terms of performances, but he has got a rival to watch out for in Erriyon Knighton.

The time he then ran a few hours later when finishing third in the Diamond League race behind America’s world champion Noah Lyles and Letsile Tebogo, of Botswana?

After upstaging powerhouses the United States and Jamaica to win a rare Olympic sprint gold for Africa, Letsile Tebogo aims to unleash the "deadly" untapped potential of athletes from the continent.

But he looked out of sorts in the 200m as Letsile Tebogo emphatically won to deny him the sprint double, then revealed he had tested positive for Covid.

He was looking to win two gold medals but was stunned by Letsile Tebogo in the 200m final.
