19-year-old Botswana sprinter Tebogo is rapidly emerging as the successor to Usain Bolt.

In the junior 100m, I have already set a new world record for the third time this year.

Tebogo, who stood at the starting line with a confident look as if to pay attention to himself, struck out with the fastest reaction speed and performed an overwhelming race.



He hit the lead early and widened the gap, and after 70m, he turned his head to the side to point out the competitors who were behind, and easily took first place.



He advanced his previous junior world record by 0.03 seconds in 18 days by 9.91 seconds, achieving his second consecutive Junior World Championship title.



[Tebogo/Botswana Athletics Representative: The goal was to provide the joy of athletics to those watching at home.

The world record came out, but it wasn't planned.]



Tebogo, who wants to be like Usain Bolt, and follows the ceremony, is growing faster than Bolt.



While Bolt broke his first 10-second barrier at the age of 22, Tebogo broke the junior world record three times, starting at 9.96 this year at the age of 19.



[Tebogo/Botswana Athletics Representative: If I break Bolt's world record (9.58 seconds), I will definitely meet him.

I think the odds are 50/50.

It would be really nice to meet you.]



While the world athletics was excited by the appearance of Tebogo, Bolt also showed great interest by posting the news of Tebogo's new record on Twitter.
