๐๐โโ๏ธ Breaking Records: African Sprinters are here to stay !
๐ง๐ผ History has been made yesterday in Budapest as Botswana's 20 year-old sprinter, Letsile Tebogo, blazed his way to Africa's first-ever podium finish in the 100m at the World Championships. He finished second, setting a new personal best and national record at 9.88
๐ฅ Tebogo's remarkable feat showcases the growing potential for African sprinters to dominate on the world stage.
๐๐ The 110m, 200m and 400m races can lead to more victories !
๐ Global Brands already have their eyes set on the potential of African sprinters. Tebogo is a Nike sprinter and earlier this year, Botswana Athletics Association signed a 5-year-deal with PUMA Group.
The marketability of our sprinters will certainly come under the spotlight next year as Netflix launches a 6-part docu-series ahead of the #Paris2024 Olympics, more brands should look to join the race ๐ !
