I've never been so proud. This boy made history, amazing talent. We love you from Botswana 🇧🇼 Africa 🌍

[@ismailekamara1237]

I really liked his confidence. I also liked his confidence in his coach and he mentioned his discipline in the sport itself. I see nothing but greatness in this young man's future.

[@joejotham]

So 50/50 is not on breaking Bolt's record but Bolt agreeing to meeting him. That's inbuilt confidence.

Knighton and Tebogo are gonna change sprinting forever

[@ptyten9718]

Special talents fr. They're gonna be all over those 100/200m all time lists by the time they're done.

[@generalbrowser680]

And Oblique Seville as far as young sprinters

[@afrobuddy4801]

@@generalbrowser680 Seville is very good, but nothing we haven't seen before. Tebogo but especially Knighton are next level. If Seville was running 9.86 as a teen then he would be at their level but he is no longer a teenager. Knighton is easily the most natural gifted 200m sprinter of all time and Tebogo might just be the most naturally gifted 100m sprinter of all time. Knighton breaking the 200m WR one day is already set in stone while Tebogo has a very good chance of breaking the 100m WR one day especially if he is able to run a low or mid 9.8 before he is 20. Seville is great but not an extraordinary or a generational talent like Knighton and Tebogo.

His coach is with the senior team at commonwealth games and sent him to under 20 championship even though this guy would have won the commonwealth games 100m so easily as the gold medal went for 10.2s.Great thinking from coach as he wants his athletes to climb the ladder step by step.

He did it in 2 races all year. Get over it. It's running. If you're not having fun while you do it then what's the point. I don't agree with celebrating in the middle of a race but that's him.

fake passport he is 25

Idk about fake passport but I’ve commented something similar a few weeks ago on a video about him. This guy clearly looks older than he’s claiming to be and in all likelihood he is older than 20.

Racists are salty I see. We have registration of births in Botswana. Also if your countries are corrupt, don't put us in the same category.

@@jennifertebomosiane9596 our country also has a registration of births, and I agree. My country is more corrupt than yours. But yours is still corrupt too.
