Letsile Tebogo is a formidable 200m runner, having achieved most accolades over the distance like winning the Olympic title, but it is unfair to rule him out in the 100m since he has always shown up when it mattered.
Last year alone, he competed in a series of 100m races where he attained podium finishes except for the Paris Olympic Games where he made the final but could only afford a sixth-place finish.
In the build-up to the Olympics, some of his notable performances include finishing second at the Gyulai István Memorial and the USATF Los Angeles Grand Prix.
