It was a beautiful season for sprint sensation, Letsile Tebogo despite picking an injury in the men’s 100m final at the Diamond League final in Oregon, Eugene.

The race was claimed by American sprinter and former World champion, Christian Coleman with a World Leading (WL) time of 9.83 seconds. The current world champion, Noah Lyles and African record holder, Ferdinand Omanyala finished tied at 9.85 seconds for second and third positions respectively.
