Wednesday the huge experience of being received by Papa Francesco, had the Holy Father autograph his MaxFly2 with which he had won the 200 meters in Paris, the first Olympic gold medal in the history of his Botswana, prayed for mother Elizabeth Seratiwa, who died last May 18 at the age of 43 after a long battle with the disease.
Tonight he will be competing in the 100 meters at the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea, and just from Rome LETSILE TEBOGO wanted to declare his love for Brescia by announcing his presence in the lane at the first edition of the Brescia Grand Prix: “I am happy to participate in the Brescia meeting that will take place at the Gabre Gabric sports field, the stadium where thanks to my management Rosa & Associati and Fidal Brescia, with my coach and my teammates we prepared the Olympic victory in the 200 meters and the silver in the 4×400 relay. Brescia is the city that welcomed me and that I feel like my second home, and it is nice that great athletics expands its borders and I hope this event will become a regular event on my calendar.”
Olympic gold medalist Letsile TEBOGO built him up at the Sanpolino stadium, training as early as when he amazed the world by going on to win the World Junior Championships in Calì, under the guidance of Kebonyemodisa Dose Mosimanyane (Dose for everyone), the coach who sensed his exceptional talents and snatched him away from football.
And on Sunday, September 8, he will return to the track that made him great. And that he feels is his!!!
