Botswana’s sprint sensation, Letsile Tebogo, says he will be ready for a tough American field at the Diamond League final in Zurich, this weekend. Tebogo has not lost a single race since clinching two medals at the Olympic Games; a gold in the men’s 200m and a silver in the men’s 4x400m relay.
He will compete in Brussels, against a heavy American contingent that also includes Fred Kerley, Kenny Bednarek and Erriyon Knighton.
Speaking to marvelbetgames.com, Tebogo, 21, says he is ready.
It is not going to be easy, as in every race. The competition is always tough especially from the Americans. But I have lots of self-belief and confidence and I believe in myself.
Tebogo, who exploded to the world scene after winning the World Under-20 title in Nairobi in 2021 said
Since the end of the Olympic Games, Tebogo has won the Diamond League in Lausanne, Silesia, Rome and last weekend in Zurich and as he eyes the Diamond Trophy, he says there is lots to improve on.
I didn’t like how I ran the curve (in Zurich) and it is something I want to improve on. The little details matter and hopefully I can get it right.
