Deemed by many as the possible heir of legendary Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, Botswanan sprinter Letsile Tebogo recently retained his U20 World Championship title in Cali, Colombia.

He set a new world record by clocking 9.91 seconds, three hundredths of a second off his own record set at the recent World Championships in Eugene (9.94), where he reached the semi-finals.

Apart from his comparisons with Boult on the basis of performance, his antics on the track are also reminiscent of the eight-time Olympic gold medallist.

During the 100 meter sprint race at the U20 World Championship, Tebogo was seen teasing his opponents before even crossing the line.
