Leotlela won the 100m in a very slightly wind-aided 10.38 (+2.2 mps), with his compatriot Kyle Appel second in 10.49, and then showed very impressive form in the 200m which he won by more than half-a-second in 20.84 following the disqualification for a false start by his anticipated nearest challenger Appel.
The TuksSport High School student, who leads the world with wind-legal bests of 10.41 and 20.63, albeit at altitude, will now be bidding to do what no South African boy has done before and get a 100m or 200m medal at the IAAF World Youth Championships.
