Botswana's Letsile Tebogo has attributed his success in the 200m to three things as he explained why he finds it easier than the 100m due to these factors.
Botswana's speedster Letsile Tebogo has explained why he never struggles running the 200m, unlike his track rivals.
The 200m is one of the tactical races when it comes to the curve and the final stretch but the reigning Olympic champion does not find it hard executing any of the two and in fact, he admitted that the 100m is the most difficult for him.
In an interview with Sports Passion, Letsile Tebogo explained that once he toes the line, he embraces belief in the training done. He credited his training and never missing a day as part of his success routine.

Veteran athletics coach on why Kenyans should not be quick to bash athletes' performances
The Kenyan coach has urged Kenyans to avoid quick criticism of athletes' performances on the global stage as he highlighted that most criticisms lack full understanding.
The 21-year-old added that he always does the 400m training, another thing that has largely contributed to his success over the half-lap race.
“It all comes from the belief in the hard work that I’ve done from the get-go, the day that you started training. I knew that I hadn’t skipped any day. There is also a 400m program there and when others fade, I still have that one form that keeps me going, so it means a lot to me,” Letsile Tebogo said.
“It’s all about enjoying, without enjoying the races I don’t think there would be these kinds of times and there’s never going to be a dual moment on the track that you have if you zone in so much,” he added.
After his Olympic triumph, Letsile Tebogo seemed to be enjoying himself with dominant wins and faster times, dipping under 20 seconds. He made a statement at the Diamond League Meeting in Lausanne before continuing his winning ways to Silesia.
Tebogo was not done with his scintillating runs as he proceeded to claim top honours in the men’s 100m in Rome and also reign supreme in Zurich. Before the Diamond League Meeting final in Brussels, Letsile Tebogo won the Grand Prix Lombardia and then finished second behind Kenny Bednarek in Brussels to end his season on a high.
