He has been nominated for the World Athletics' August moment of the month title.

Tebogo's nomination comes after his record-breaking run at the World Junior Championships in Cali, Columbia last month, where he registered a new mark of 9.91 in the 100m.

The 19-year-old faces competition from Jamaican star, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Netherland’s Femke Bol, Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon, and Jamaica’s 4x100m women relay team. Tebogo is already a winner of the title after he grabbed the April World Athletics' moment of the month award.
