Tebogo Confident After 200m Season’s Best in Rabat, Eyes Ultimate Championships

Botswana’s sprint sensation Letsile Tebogo has declared himself ‘on track’ for the Ultimate Championships after clocking a season’s best of 19.96 seconds to finish second in the men’s 200m at the Rabat Diamond League meeting on Sunday.

The 20-year-old, who last ran the distance in 20.70 seconds, expressed satisfaction with his steady improvement, noting that consistently lowering his season’s best is proof of progress.

‘The last time I ran a 200m, it was a 20.70, so improving my season’s best was bound to happen today. Consistently lowering my season’s best shows there is clear progress and that there’s light at the end of the tunnel,’ Tebogo said after the race.

He emphasized the importance of patience and focus as he builds toward the year’s major target.

‘I’m happy with how things went and I’m already looking forward to the next one. I believe everything has its start and its finish, so we just take it step by step. We don’t overcomplicate things, but we still have the Ultimate Championships ahead of us. That remains the main goal and the main target. This result shows that I am right on track.’
