Letsile Tebogo finished second in the Men’s 200m, conceding victory to Jeremiah Olusegun Adeola Fatogbe (referred to in the transcript as “Taittila”) while acknowledging he had more to give on the day.

**On his performance:**
Tebogo was candid about his dissatisfaction, stating that he did “the complete opposite” of what he should have done technically. Rather than dwelling on the result, he indicated he would use it as a learning opportunity heading into his next competition.

**On his 200m focus this season:**
Tebogo revealed that running more 200m races in 2025 is a deliberate strategy. He explained that the event allows him to work on his curve technique, while the 100m is used specifically to sharpen his home straight — suggesting a structured, technically driven approach to his season planning.

**On Botswana support:**
Tebogo was visibly moved by the presence of Botswana fans at the meet, saying it was “a great privilege” to see fellow Botswanans in the stands — particularly because their attendance came as a surprise, with no prior notice given to the athletes.

**Looking ahead:**
Tebogo was measured but motivated in closing, making clear he intends to address the technical shortcomings on display and return stronger at his next outing.
