Letsile Tebogo will continue his bid for 100m glory in the Wanda Diamond League when he heads to Shanghai\/Keqiao for the second meeting of the season on May 3. <\/p>\n
The Botswanan star established himself as one of the biggest stars of men’s sprinting in 2024, sweeping to the 200m Olympic title and five Diamond League victories between July and September.<\/p>\n
Having narrowly missed out on the Diamond League title at last year’s final in Brussels, Tebogo will be out to claim his first Diamond Trophy in 2025 before setting his sights on the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo in September.<\/p>\n
This year’s campaign will also mark a switch in focus for the 21-year-old, who announced after his Diamond League victory in Rome last August that he would be turning his attention to the 100m in 2025.<\/p>\n
Already confirmed for the 100m at the season opener in Xiamen on April 26, the Botswanan will head to Keqiao a week later to complete a Chinese double as he looks to get early points on the board on the Road to the Final.<\/p>\n
Tebogo is one of several track and field superstars already confirmed for Shanghai\/Keqiao, including high jump world record holder and Olympic champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh and 400m hurdles world record holder Karsten Warholm.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m thrilled for my first-ever race at the Shanghai\/Keqiao Diamond League! I can\u2019t wait to bring some extra energy to an already amazing field,” said Tebogo. <\/p>\n
The Wanda Diamond League is the elite one-day meeting series in global athletics. It comprises 15 of the most prestigious events in global track and field. Athletes compete for points at the 14 series meetings in a bid to qualify for the two-day Wanda Diamond League Final, which will be held in Zurich on 27th and 28th August 2025. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
