Thebe targets World Juniors not Olympics

His brilliant performance has seen him competing with seniors and qualifying for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the 200m and 400m events. But his target is to bring a medal from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) 2016 World Junior Championships due to take place in Bydgoszcz, Poland from July 19-24.

The championships were originally awarded to Kazan, Russia before the hosting rights were withdrawn as a result of All-Russia Athletic Federation (ARAF) being suspended by the IAAF.
