“Is Letsile Tebogo the king of African sprinting?” the interviewer asked Omanyala who in turn replied with a question.
“Who is the African champion? Who has the African record? I hope that answers your questions,” the Commonwealth Games champion replied. The interviewer replied to both questions with an agreement to Omanyala’s questions.
Meanwhile, Tebogo has also made great milestones in the 100m and 200m, where he became the first African to win a medal in the 100m at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
The Botswanan wunderkind also bagged a bronze medal in the 200m at the global stage and is also a double World Under-20 champion.

“I do not have anything to say. Everything will reveal itself as time goes on. To me, it does not make sense if you are the African champion, but where it mattered the most, he could not step in,” he said.
