Julius Yego displayed a great act of sportsmanship as he warmly embraced Botswanan youngster Letsile Tebogo live on camera at Lausanne Diamond League.
Julius Yego displayed a great act of sportsmanship at the Diamond League Meeting in Lausanne as he offered a warm embrace to Letsile Tebogo.
The newly-crowned 200m Olympic champion was having an interview on the Inside Lane before Yego, the 2015 world javelin champion came from behind and hugged Tebogo.
Tebogo was fresh from winning the men’s 200m at the event, beating Erriyon Knighton and Fred Kerley to second and third places. In the interview, he was speaking about the possibility of attacking Usain Bolt’s 200m world record.
“I see it (world record) but I do not want to put myself under that pressure of trying to break the world record but if it comes, it will come eventually,” Tebogo said.
“We do not have to push it this year or next year. Probably when we are 24 is when we could attempt something like that but I do not think it will take long, looking at what I did today (in Lausanne) and in the 200m final (at the Olympics),” he added.
On his part, Yego finished distant sixth in the men’s javelin, throwing 83.00m.
