This post by Leslie Koroma Sr. - Africa Sports Ventures Group reminded us why we are so passionate and inspired to achieve our vision at The Podium Pursuit Collective - ProTouch™️ Africa. Our platform - built on the blockchain and leveraging tokenization - provides the components to build a sustainable, transparent Impact Fund and change the way athletes from Africa are funded forever! 💥Tebogo's Victory: A Seminal Moment for African Sports As Africans across the continent, the diaspora, and the world at large celebrate Botswana phenom, Letsile Tebogo’s 🇧🇼stunning victory in the Men's 200 meters at the 2024 Olympic Games, the significance of this achievement cannot be overstated. Triumphing over Noah Lyles a formidable favorite, Tebogo's triumph underscores a message that some have championed for years: the need to grow and develop the sports space in Africa as a powerful vehicle for socioeconomic transformation. What remains missing, however, are true believers in this vision. While many express support, their actions often reveal a reluctance to commit and fully invest in Africa’s untapped potential. Instead, some turn their backs on the continent, ignoring the wealth of talent and potential waiting to be harnessed. From the early years of Kenyan legend Kip Keino, Uganda's John Akii-Bua, to Nigeria's golden generation of sprinters led by Chidi Imoh, Innocent Egbunike, and Sprint Queen Mary Onyali, alongside Zambia’s Samuel Matete and Namibia's Frankie Fredericks, the world has caught glimpses of Africa’s unlimited athletic prowess. Yet, the continent has yet to fully convert this talent into sustainable opportunities for future generations. Yesterday, on the eighth day of the eight month of the year 2024, Letsile Tebogo brought this potential full circle, proving that the time has come for Africa to embrace its destiny. The commitment to developing the sports industry across the continent is no longer an option but an imperative. The challenges are real, from inadequate infrastructure to limited financial investment, but these are not insurmountable. Addressing these shortcomings will require determination, resilience, and a long-term vision—qualities not for the faint of heart or those seeking quick returns because it takes undaunted commitment to get to the mountaintop. Africa's youth population is burgeoning, with over 60% of its 1.4 billion people under the age of 25. This demographic reality presents an enormous opportunity that cannot be ignored. A fully developed sports sector could serve as a critical avenue for economic empowerment, job creation, and international recognition. The time to act is now. Tebogo's victory is a clarion call for stakeholders to fully commit to nurturing and developing the sports sector in Africa, turning it into a cornerstone of opportunity and growth for generations to come… #africanathletes #poweringpurpose #LetsileTebogo #TebogoVictory #AfricanSports #OlympicChampion
