Paris 2024: Motswana sprinter, Tebogo wins historic gold in Men’s 200m

A new milestone has been achieved in athletics history as four African sprinters have qualified for the men’s Olympic 200m final, a feat never accomplished since the event’s introduction in 1900.

This remarkable achievement marks a significant breakthrough for African athletes in the sport.

In a thrilling finale, Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo clinched the gold medal in the 200m race, dashing USA’s Noah Lyles’ hopes of becoming the first athlete since Usain Bolt to achieve an Olympic sprint double. Despite a strong start, Lyles was surpassed by Tebogo, who dominated the race to secure a resounding victory.”
