"We lowered our expectations"- Letsile Tebogo shed light on his injury situation at the World Athletics Championships 2025
Letsile Tebogo shed light on his injury situation at the World Athletics Championships 2025 after a disappointing 4th place finish in the 200m finals. The 200m Olympic champion had lowered his expectations for the race, especially due to the injuries, but is happy to have clinched the 4th position. He said (via Citius Mag, 00:11 onwards):
"I'd say I planned out a very good race for me. I'm looking at what you've been through this whole season, and just coming into the final, we lowered our expectations because we didn't have much work to do because it was back and forth with the injury. So, I'm happy with being the fourth fastest man in the world."
Speaking about the timeline of his injury, Tebogo revealed that it emerged during his first Diamond League meet of the season in Xiamen. He added:
"Since the first Diamond League from China then we had to go back home, try and treat it, and went back to Prefontaine, did our best, went to Monaco and in Monaco we had the same injury."
During the conversation, Letsile Tebogo also mentioned that due to the injuries that, he also had to withdraw from several races across the season to give himself time to heal.
