Government Announces Start Dates for Installation of Screens, Tartan Track and VAR Systems at Kasarani Stadium
Sports CS Salim Mvurya has provided an update on when the remaining renovation works at Kasarani Stadium will be completed before test matches start being held at the venue in June.
Some of his fans insisted that he is too young to be taking breaks from the sport, and he should maximise on that instead of wasting his time resting rather than making money.
“I wanted to retire this season and come back next year, but I couldn’t. But I want to take a break, maybe next year, so that I can enjoy my teenage years. We are not cooking anything special for tomorrow. It’s all about starting our 200m season,” Letsile Tebogo revealed.

Olympics champion Noah Lyles will run a longer distance in Florida this weekend in what will be his first outdoor event of the season.
“It won’t be retirement, retirement, it’s just taking a break and just feeling like a normal human being again because everybody is making it hard for me,” Letsile Tebogo said.
“Because, when everybody sees me, they see me as a hero which is very hard for me to cope out there. So, taking a break does not really mean retirement.”

Rising Stars Head Coach Salim Babu Confirms Final Squad for U20 AFCON in Egypt
Salim Babu has unveiled Kenya's final U20 AFCON squad as the Rising Stars prepare for a challenging tournament in Egypt.
Letsile Tebogo noted that he is glad to have been an inspiration to young sprinters to keep chasing their dreams.
“I wanted to impact young kids out there…I wanted to change the narrative about how people look at African sprinters, how people look at Africa as a long-distance continent alone. I wanted the world to know that Africa can also produce sprinters and drop the rumours,” Letsile Tebogo said.
Letsile Tebogo's decision to consider stepping away from the sport temporarily is not a sign of weakness, but a powerful reminder of the immense pressure that comes with early success and global recognition.
As he continues to navigate life in the spotlight, the young sprinting sensation is choosing to prioritise his mental well-being and personal growth, recognising that longevity in sport is as much about emotional balance as it is about physical performance.
