Olympics 200m champion Letsile Tebogo has given reasons why he feels snubbing the World Relays alongside other star sprinters from his country was actually a good thing.
Botswana sprinter Letsile Tebogo feels skipping the World Relays Championships was actually a good thing for the country and not a negative as it was seen at the time.
Tebogo alongside Bayapo Ndori and Collen Kebinatshipi, withdrew from the World Relays early this month citing unkept promises and late payment of their Olympics bonuses after delivering a rare silver medal in 4x400m in Paris last year.

“The whole African continent has true potential, it is just that over the years, people have not been given the opportunity but I am glad Wayde [van Niekerk] has paved the path for us and I am also paving the path for others,” Tebogo said in Rabat on Saturday ahead of the Diamond League on Sunday.
“There is true potential in Africa, there are a lot of young athletes that are out there that the people do not know.
“For Botswana, I would say it is getting there and with us not being at the World Relays as we have seen, the team did very well and we are happy with that.
“It means now, the following year, we are going to see new faces at the World Relays in Botswana so I believe there is so much that sponsors and investors need to come to Africa and see the true potential.”
