Letsile Tebogo stares down Christian Coleman for easy 100m win at Rome Diamond League
Letsile Tebogo's massive wave of confidence continued with an easy cheeky stare win against Christian Coleman at the Diamond League in Rome.

Kerley won the Olympic 100m bronze medal in Paris and has a Season's Best (SB) performance of 19.86s clocked at the Lausanne Diamond League post-Olympics. Having lost to Tebogo in Rome, the renowned track star will be aiming for another victorious moment against the Motswana.
On the other hand, his compatriot Bednarek has dropped a super fast 19.59s this season and blazed to the silver medal in Paris behind Tebogo. With the believe of still having something to prove before the season ends, then a stunning performance can see him take the famous victory when they cross the finish line.

Meanwhile, others in the stacked field such as Dominica's Alexander Ogando can cause an upset as his outstanding run of almost defeating the Olympic champion in Silesia puts him in the conversation of challenging the above-named speedsters for that confidence-boosting triumph.
Likewise, Erriyon Knighton, Courtney Lindsey, and fast-finishing Joseph Fahnbulleh are no pushovers and are in the mix in what's expected to be a blazing race in Zurich.
