Tebogo continues dominance in 200-metre event, Nuguse take 1500m during Zurich Diamond League meet

Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo clocked a powerful 200-metre run at the Zurich Diamond League on Thursday, running 19.55 seconds. delivered a powerful finish to secure a dramatic victory in the men’s 200m at the Diamond League meet in Zurich on Thursday. His stunning kick brought him into the top three, and then to victory.

The 21-year-old just pipped the Paris Olympic silver medallist Kenny Bednarek of the US. Bednarek finished 0.02 seconds back. Americans Erriyon Knighton took third in 19.79 seconds, while Fred Kerley finished fourth in 19.81.

“I always dig deep for the races and for everything, so, for me, it means a lot,” said Tebogo.

Tebogo got out of the blocks slow for his standard. “Today, I did not run the curve, I only ran the home straight, but with the Olympic final, I ran throughout the whole race,” he added.

He expects to run the entire 200m race, from blocks to finish. If so, he may challenge Usain Bolt’s 19.19-second world record and certainly his own best of 19.46, which was set during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, where he won gold.

Tebogo is the fifth-fastest man in history behind Noah Lyles (19.31), Michael Johnson (19.32), Yohan Blake (19.26) and Bolt (19.19).

Yared Nuguse gets his win

See the results below for the win by American Yared Nuguse in the 1500m event. He clocked an impressive 3:29.21 victory over 2024 Paris Olympic Games champion Cole Hocker of the US and Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway.

Ingebrigtsen finished in the time of 3:29.52, while Hocker crossed the line in third at 3:30.46.

Ingebrigtsen’s social media post made the Quote of the Day at Let’s Run: “Competing with a cold: probably not the best medicine. Not showing up: not an option, unless half dead. Not my day, but first and foremost: a great performance by Nuguse. Always fun to be a part of the @weltklassezurich circus. See you all in @allianzmemorialvandamme

It’s a bit ridiculous. Running under 3.30 was a magic limit for a long time. To do it time after time is incredibly nice.”
