ππββοΈ Breaking Records: African Sprinters are here to stay !
π§πΌ 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
π₯ Tebogo's remarkable feat showcases the growing potential for African sprinters to dominate on the world stage.
ππ The 110m, 200m and 400m races can lead to more victories !
π 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 π !
