Letsile Tebogo Wins 200 Meters with Record-Breaking Time
Botswana’s Call Thanks dominated the 200 meters at the Stade de France in Paris, claiming gold with a time of 19.46. This remarkable performance overshadowed American Noah Lyles, who settled for third place with a time of 19.70.
Tebogo’s victory marked a historic moment for Botswana, as he became the first athlete from the country to clinch an Olympic gold medal. His time was just sixteen hundredths of a second slower than Lyles’ American record, showcasing a thrillingly close race.
The 200 meters had been Lyles’ chance to emulate Usain Bolt’s remarkable feat of securing gold in three consecutive Olympic Games. However, despite his valiant effort, Lyles was unable to replicate this remarkable achievement.
Tebogo maintained a consistent pace throughout the race, holding off Lyles, who had trailed closely behind him. His victory is a testament to his unwavering determination and exceptional speed.
The Dominican Republic’s Alexander Ogando finished in fifth place with a time of 20.02, securing an Olympic diploma.
