The 2024 Kip Keino Classic is fast approaching, and the track and field enthusiasts are excited. With many athletes ready to represent their country, Letsile Tebogo, one of the event runners, has already made a name for himself this season. According to World Athletics’ Instagram post, the athlete’s enthusiasm is high as he makes a bold confession ahead of the event.
Over the years, European and American athletes have dominated the international track and field scene. These two continents have long been in contention and are frequently discussed among fans.
However, the Botswawan sprinter believes that fans’ perceptions will change. He wants African athletes to build a name for themselves in this sport by setting many world records and world leads.
The 20-year-old sprinter proved his mettle this season by establishing three prominent records. With all of his accomplishments, he is confident in his fellow African athletes too, as he mentions:
“The time has come for African athletes to dominate sprint events on the international stage.”
The Kip Keino Classic will include several well-known athletes the track world looks forward to. This is also the event where many young athletes will test their abilities ahead of the Paris Olympics.
