The men's 100m at the London Diamond League featured an incredible line-up of athletes that included Oblique Seville, Noah Lyles, Ackeem Blake and Akani Simbine, among others. Tebogo appeared to be struggling since the beginning of the race and could not put forward a strong finish, thereby clocking 10.12s and finishing seventh overall. Seville, Lyles and Zharnel Hughes took the top three positions in the event.

Since the conclusion of the London Diamond League, Letsile Tebogo has been away from the outdoor track circuit for over a month and skipped races in Silesia as well as the Brussels Diamond League. As he prepares to compete in the men's 200m at the Diamond League Finals in Zurich against top athletes like Noah Lyles, Tebogo shared an update about his absence from the track and revealed that he had moved to the farm for a brief period.

He decided to take some time from the hectic city life and spend some time with animals, as he is motivated for his next few races in the 2025 outdoor track season. The Olympic gold medalist shared some pictures from his visit to the 'Tebogo Farms' and wrote:

"Traded city life for farm life. Came for the animals and inspiration #Tebogofarms."

Tebogo is set to compete in the Zurich Diamond League finals on August 28, at 9:39 PM local time.

"Today’s performance wasn’t what I had hoped for. I’m currently dealing with a recurring injury, which hasn’t been easy. However, I’m channeling this disappointment and pain into resolve. I’m already focused on recovery and growth, and I know I will come back a stronger man. See y’all soon❤️‍🩹" he wrote.
