“It was a great race for me here today in Lausanne, to be able to return here the following year is very cool to me. I think the most important thing for me is that even after such achievements like the ones I did at the Olympics, at the end of the day you just have to keep running to maintain the form throughout the season. So that being done here in athletissima, I´m satisfied,” Tebogo said.
He added that after his 200m exploits, going forward to win a silver medal for the men’s 4x400m relay race at the Olympics shocked many people.
