Letsile Tebogo charges late past Kenny Bednarek to extend winning streak at Zurich Diamond League

Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo extended his winning streak post-Paris Games, charging late past Kenny Bednarek to win the 200m event at the Zurich Diamond League.

The Motswana had to work hard for the victory in Zurich, closing off Bednarek at the finish line in 19.55s as the American was rewarded for his efforts with a new Personal Best (PB) of 19.57s.

Paris finalist Erriyon Knighton also ran a fast time in 19.79s for third, ahead of his senior compatriot Fred Kerley, who clocked a Season's Best performance of 19.81s.

Tebogo's triumph is his fourth consecutive victory post-Olympics, having previously dominated in Lausanne, Silesia, and Rome.

With the hard battle won against Bednarek in Zurich, Tebogo will be gunning for a better performance in the Diamond League final in Brussels, which bodes for an exciting clash to watch out for in the event.
