World Beat Record
Rising Botswana sprint star Letsile Tebogo has achieved another major milestone in his athletics career. On April 30th, Tebogo set a new world U20 100m record, clocking an impressive 9.96 seconds. Breaking records seems to be in his DNA; on February 17, 2024, Tebogo broke the 300m world best, running a time of 30.69 seconds at altitude in Pretoria, South Africa.
Breathtaking Performance
Tebogo's most recent record-breaking run came at the World Athletics U20 Championships Cali 2022 on Tuesday. In the 100m final, he produced a remarkable performance, smashing his previous record. His time of 9.96 seconds places him among the world's fastest sprinters and confirms his status as a rising star of athletics.
A Legacy of Speed
Tebogo's achievements are reminiscent of legendary sprinter Usain Bolt, who shattered the 100-meter world record with a time of 9.58 seconds. Tebogo's continued success on the international stage suggests that he has the potential to follow in Bolt's footsteps and become one of the greatest sprinters of all time.
A Bright Future Ahead
At just 19 years old, Tebogo has already made a significant mark in the world of sprinting. With several records under his belt, the young Botswana athlete has a promising future ahead of him. As he continues to develop and refine his skills, it's likely that Tebogo will achieve even more remarkable feats in the years to come.
