Reigning Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo has opened up about how living by Eliud Kipchoge’s mantra of ‘No Human is Limited’ has enabled him to keep going this season.
The Motswana sprinter has been impressive this season since winning the Olympic title at the Paris Olympic Games and when asked whether he is exhausted, Tebogo noted that he still has more to give at the Diamond League Meeting final in Brussels.
He explained that after looking into the quote by Kipchoge, he began realising that there’s more he could do rather than just end the season after the Olympics. Tebogo explained that he has been in the form of his life with no injury, something that has worked in his favour.

“There is a saying that says ‘No Human is Limited’, so, I took that and looked through into it and I’ve seen the other end that I’m not limited to anything and I could just go on as long as I’m not injured, it means that the body could still go on for months if that’s the case, so, no human is limited and that’s why I keep on going each and every time I’m on a meet. This is going to be my last and I’m going to rest,” Tebogo said.
After the Paris Olympic Games where he claimed a silver with the men’s 4x400m relay team and gold in the 200m, the world 100m silver medallist proceeded to claim top honours at the Diamond League Meeting in Lausanne.
The 21-year-old proceeded to claim top honours at the Diamond League Meeting in Silesia before winning the 100m in Rome. Tebogo did not stop at that as he went on to win the 200m at the meeting in Zurich before winning the Grand Prix in Lombardia.
