Letsile Tebogo was unstoppable in the men’s 200m at the Diamond League Meeting in Lausanne as he overpowered his serial rivals.
The newly-crowned Olympic champion clocked a stunning 19.64 seconds to cross the finish line first ahead of a stacked field of athletes who were out to seek redemption following the Paris Olympics flop.
Erriyon Knighton, who started from the blocks in great fashion, was forced to settle for second in a time of 19.78s as Olympic 100m bronze medallist Fred Kerley sealed the podium in a time of 19.86s, a season best.

Usain Bolt's former coach reveals athlete to break 200m world record as he rules out Noah Lyles
The veteran coach explained why the fast-rising sprinter is better placed to break Usain Bolt's 200m world record as he ruled out three-time world 200m champion Noah Lyles.
When the gun went off, Knighton looked comfortable and led up until the 120m mark when Tebogo took charge and never looked back until he crossed the finish line.
The world 100m silver medallist continues to cement his name in the annals of the 200m with his impressive performances so far. Tebogo is just fresh from claiming the 200m win at the Paris Olympic Games where he beat Kenny Bednarek and Noah Lyles to second and third places respectively.
He missed a shot in the men's 100m final in Paris, where he was forced to finish a distant sixth as Lyles claimed the win. Kishane Thompson and Kerley finished second and third in the hotly contested race.
