Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo produced a devastating finish to claim a thrilling victory in the men’s 200m at the Diamond League met in Zurich on Thursday.

The Olympic champion looked to have lost the race at a packed Letzigrund Stadium, but put on the afterburners to win in 19.55 seconds.

The 21-year-old Tebogo edged Olympic silver medallist Kenny Bednarek for the line, the American at 0.02sec.

Two more Americans followed, Erriyon Knighton rounding out the podium in 19.79sec, with Fred Kerley fourth in 19.81.
