Botswana's fastest man in history, Letsile Tebogo wrote a disturbing message on his X page that got athletics fans talking.
The 20-year-old who blazed his way to the history books at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest by winning 100m silver medal and followed it up with a 200m bronze medal five days later, is one of the best sprinters in the world and has the talent to be a future World Record holder.

ATHLETICS Why Letsile Tebogo wanted Simbine and Omanyala to win a 100m medal before him
During the final of the 100m on Sunday night, Africa’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala faded to finish seventh.
Now highly favoured as one of the medal contenders at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Tebogo revealed he's not ready to begin training for his first Olympic appearance, which is a cause of worry to athletics fans in his country.
"Can someone give me motivation to start training," he tweeted.
Tebogo is regarded as a generational talent and is tipped as one of the favourites to break Usain Bolt's 200m World Record of 19.19s in the future.
