Lyles is a big fake and lying man, he said that he contacted covid two days before witch means he had it on the day of the 100 meter,why didn’t covid affect him after that race
Agreed. No one has even the guts to think of it but her, she executed and got a medal in all three. Only her and the legendary Zatopek have even attempted the three at a single Olympics. Random fact - Hassan had a day recovery after the 10000m to do the marathon while Zatopek had 2 days recovery after the 5000m to do the marathon.
He’ll be 25 by LA, he’ll literally be in his prime the next time we see the big leagues again, if Lyles doesn’t challenge the 200 record tebogo will, and a damn good chance at the 400 record too
@@henrihelvetica5835Nobody during the last 60 years has ever won an Olympic gold in the men’s 200 at the age of 31 or older. Lyles couldn’t win a gold at age 24 and 27. He won’t be winning one at the age of 31.
@@eddiemac24why whats the bias why knighton and not Tebogo American bias because Tebogo and knighton is same age but Tebogo is better he can break the world record although i dont think so
His smooth effortless strides and efficiency is something to watch. All this guy needs is to stay focus and the sky is the limit. He is a national treasure and should be protected at all cost by his country.
Glad you made this i just talking to my friends the other day about how no one is talking about tebogo when he ran 9.86, 19.46, and a 43.04 relay split in the same week.
True but her failure to meet expectations in her primary event makes it just like Lyles so you technically can't call it the best in the Games for sure. But yes I was watching live and was shook when she came through in the final stretch. The even more amusing part was that it was 0.02 of the WR by the US in the rounds.
Can she be more aggressive in the start of her race? I don't know, she looked like she wasn't trying much in the start of her 4×400 anchor leg, while the other women were going hard from the beginning, even tho she caught them later. She intentionally fell back a bit and let the other runners pass her to make so she can pass them later on when the field was more strung out. She's relaxed and composed, but I think she can do with a little more aggression, especially attacking the race right from the gun.
@@Kipchoge475 Her 400 hurdles race is what happens when she's too aggressive from the jump. She said after the race that she went out too fast (probably trying to keep up with Sydney) and crashed at around 300M. In general, her strength seems to be being able to keep up with (nearly) anyone at her normal pace and then have some extra at the end.
@@aristotlethedecent6675 that long and smooth stride also definitely helps.she covers so much ground with each stride as compared to other runners.i think if she works more on her strength and leg turnover, she can greatly improve.
the death of his mother has knocked a lot of the playfulness out of Tebogo and it was very evident in the Olympics where he had his serious face on, its still hard to believe how young he is and i can only imagine his times getting lower and lower as he matures, as for highlights i gotta go with Sydneys new world record in the 400mh and her utter demolishing of the competition in the 2nd leg of the 4x400m flat, she must have pulled at least 20m on 2nd in that first bend and just took more out the rest of the lap, its astonishing how versatile a runner she is from 100mh, 200m, 400m, 400mh, 4x100m and 4x400 she makes everyone else look pedestrian
This boy is already a legend. Am interested more on what is to come, with just 21 but achieved such. Big respect to this young man, love from South Africa.
For me, I just wish more big brands could rally behind Letsile Tebogo because he is a generational talent and he is mature beyond his age. Big brands should invest in him so that he can build a formidable team behind the scenes, similar to what they are doing in Jamaica. If Coach Dose and Tebogo can use a similar model to Maximising Velocity and Power (MVP) Track Club in Jamaica where money is not a hindrance, they will be unstoppable.
@@wamnichoand gold in the marathon, she's the first to medal in all three. that's worth celebrating and definitely makes her one of the best of all-time

I may be biased as a South African, but South Africa getting silver in the 4×100 men's relay was amazing, the commentators didn't even mention South africa during the race because they were the underdogs with 2 teenagers on the team.
There were so many individual mind blowing results but for me the most outstanding athlete was Sifan Hassan winning the Marathon especially with it being a tough course with long gruelling hill climbs.

It's the obvious answer, but the 100m final was probably the best race I've ever watched live. The anticipation, the different storylines of each athlete, the buildup, how close it was between ALL the athletes but especially the medalists, it had the fastest non-medalists of all time...all the way to the surprise ending of Lyles taking gold after coming back from 8th, AND being the first American to win the event in 20 years.

I found this channel during the Tokyo Olympics. Trust me, if you keep watching this channel, the summer of 2028 will be so much more fun to watch. Knowing more about the field in these events made it so enjoyable.
Thank you for doing this video. It is very important to be sure not to overlook greatness happen behind the spotlights. This man is insanely great already and I can't wait to see what comes next for him. He is actively changing the sprinting world as we speak. Even bolt didn't have this effect in the same way until after his world records.
Thank you so much TRP for giving us the front row seat to Tebogo's uprise. I remember when you used to post his junior days and I'm like, Why??? Now I know why. Thank you TRP.
Thank you for giving Letsile Tebogo his props...you will not have to wait that long to see him do a 400m dash as he said in one of his Olympics interviews he will focus on the 400m after doing the 100m & 200m double in LA28. Lets hope he stays consistent and injury free and we will wotness something amazing!
He definitely has been the most impressive sprinter!!! Some haters said he wouldn’t transition well from juniors and I defended him. On your survey I picked him to win 200m gold. I believe it’s in the swinging of his arms it quite different.❤🇿🇦🌧🇧🇼
Tebogo has one of my favorite running forms of all time. He looks so light on his feet almost as if he is being slightly suspended by invisible wires. My other favorites are Allyson Felix and Asafa Powell.
Tebogo has a strong potential to eclipse 19.19 and run like you mentioned here 43.50sec once he does this he probably won't move down to the 100m again ..
@@shariffroberts3193He should become like MJ, a 200 and 400 guy. He's got potential to be good in the 100 sure, but no WRs there. 200 and 400 he can get into WR territory.
@@alansamuel2454 as i said under another video once he is done with 400m if he gets wr he can switch to 100m by putting muscle mass when hes older, which is probably also fitting to not become too muscolar when younger.
@@thegamer97HS Fair point. Yep if he gets the 400m wr it would be a good idea to put on muscle later and target the 100 and 200. But honestly I still refuse to believe anyone can approach the 9.58 mark. Lets see though.
@@alansamuel2454 I think people will get it sooner than we expect just cause of the fact bolt wasn’t dancing around in the last few meter like his other runs but still seemed like he considerably slowed down, he dove in but still his strides were slowing down, I may be wrong tho I’m no srpinter pro or anything remotely close
I gotta give this to Sifan Hassan.what a phenomenal athlete. What makes her feats even more impressive is that the marathon course was a very tough one.if you watched the race, you'd know that the course had crazy elevation.
If he goes to Jamaica for three months to work on his drive phase of his race, he'll be a monster. Van Neekerk spent some time training with Bolt in Jamaica. I think Letsile and his coach would benefit immensely from a knowledge exchange and that's what Glen Mills and Steven Francis are known for.
Thank you Total Running Productions for first covering the rise and development of the SUPERSTAR sprinter Letsile Tebogo. Your coverage really gives us notice to who is up and coming !
One of the best accomplishment, is also Nafi Thiam taking her third Gold medal in a row at heptathlon. .. It’s a multi-event, you can fail at so many points,.. and still, 3 times olympic champion..
Noah was just caught dancing in the club.🤔 Tebogo won Fair and square and in professional sports there's no excuses once u decide to compete. Tebogo is already almost to Legendary Status. A WR in the 300m, Gold Medal at Olympics in the 200m beating Lyles. 9.86 PR in the 100. And a 44.2 PR in the 400. All that at only 21yrs old. Can't wait to see what he does next!
Noah wasn’t gonna run under 19.45 anyways as well.. even if he ran something close Tebogo was cruising at 19.45 easy he would win either way. You right! No matter how you put it he is a champ. With all respect to Noah, Tebogo is 21 Noah is 27… time for the new King of Sprint to rise! Much love from Canada but an African brother (Ghana)
@TRP, another great video! One suggestion for the overall 1/2/3/400m calculation is that the 100m time should be multiplied by 4, 200m time x2, 300m x1.33. Then all added together. This will give equal weighting to the achievements in the shorter distances👍 For perspective, imagine comparing the achievements of athletes running the 100m and the marathon. Tebogo’s coach has done a great job with this prodigious talent, but I hope Tebogo can move to the US or Jamaica or even Europe to take him to the next level!
I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA DO A VIDEO SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HIM ... ... I figure you know what's coming. HE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER THIS. and for the sprinting world. Each year he improves when he developes the physical way its over. TEBOGO IS LITERALLY BOLT IF NOT BETTER .. .. Many doesn't accept him yet but when they do its gonna stain HES GONNA GAIN the growd by performance after performance
lets calm down a little, he has the POTENTIAL to surpass bolt, but he's not better than bolt already everything considered... lets not jinx his future lol
Track and field is going to get more competitive and difficult as Africans are taking it serious now mark my words. Tebogo is going to inspire many young African.
Sifan Hassans accomplishments are the greatest of this Olympics. She now has Gold medals in the 5000, 10,000, and the Marathon. She also has a Bronze in the 1500. He has the Olympic record in her very first Marathon and beat the current world record holder in the event.
Tebogo has accomplished so much at such a young age- very high potential and ceiling. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for him. Welcome to the top of the mountain- Africa’s time has arrived! 👍🏾
Why hasn’t anyone commented on Arshad Nadeem’s mammoth 92.97 metre throw in the javelin to break the OR?!? This guy comes from a country that would have hardly even realised that the Olympics was happening and with the minimal, non-ideal training facilities, he comes in and breaks the OR on the biggest world stage. Had he been an American or British, he would have been all over the global media by now and probably chatting with Snoop Dog.
Tebogo seems to have an effortless, gliding running style and a top gear in reserve that no one else has. I see him breaking the 200m and 400m WRs. He eased up crossing the line in the 200 and his 4x400 split was epic.
@@iflex1963 Rai had 3 400mH rounds in his legs while Tebogo had 3 100m rounds, 3 200m rounds & 4x4 semi already in his legs by the time they lined up for the Final!
@@JappaKneads three 100m races doesn’t even count for one full 400m race with hurdles. There’s a reason you can run two 100m races within an hour of each other and you can’t run two 400mh races on the same day.
Tebogo was a beast last week, lucky to watch him throw down! And props to Botswana for chopping 3 seconds off their African record from Tokyo. As an American I was shaking in my boots when Q Hall did not walk out for the relay. It’s a testament to the same depth you mentioned in the open 100 that the race produced these insane times even without the Olympic 400m champion. Data question: does the aggregate 1+2+4 list change much if you scale the times? For example dividing the 200 by 2 and the 400 by 4 to make all races worth the same “value” (or using WA scoring tables?)
I am a former 800/1500 runner but love the 400 meters and the shorter sprints.For me Tebogo is probably the smoothest runner ever,as you know running is all relaxation his form is perfect no strain like a cat on hot thin roof😂 most importantly is his attitude if he wins or loses no big deal, does not put himself under too much pressure give him 2 years and the 200 record will go and if he trains for the 400 it should be in the region of 42.8 or less,the hundred is probably an impossible record 9.58 is beyond the reach of today's sprinters low 9.7s is achievable 9.6 will be difficult.Tebogo if he remains healthy is destined for greatness.
Letsile Tebogo doesn't look like he can run fast and he doesn't look like he is running fast when he is running, which leads me to believe that he will improve a lot more in the coming years.
considering his talent if he "wastes" 4 years just for a 9.69 in the 100m i dont know what he is doing. in 4 years if he switches to the 400 he can break both 200 and 400 wr.
3:45 I think Tebogo’s relay split was 3rd fastest of all time, behind Michael Johnsons 42.90ish and Hudson Smith’s 43.00 from this race. Anyhow, amazing achievement.
Steph hitting four threes back to back to take the gold. Oh, I know, he's not in track and field. But that was so impressive that the glory flows over everywhere else.
I hope he keeps improving like he has been doing. I'm so excited to see how he does between now and the end of the LA Olympics, in all of his competitons.
Man, I am not scared. This man is good. Stay humble, Tebogo. Remember Noah Liar's fall from grace. COVID? Please. Bow out gracefully; give credit where credit is due!
Noah is still ranked #1 according to World Athletics. I was kinda amazed at that statement given Noah hadn't been beaten since the last Olympics. One race doesn't dethrone you. Tebogo is a formidable young talent but let's see how Noah responds. I refuse to believe he's now second or third best after four full years of dominance.
@@66fredo99 People out here showing their ignorance all over the olympics videos about Lyles, it's clear they're not real fans of the sport. Dude has only lost like twice? in his professional career at the 200m, works hard to elevate the sport to bring in more revenue which benefits everyone in track-- including other countries, is not afraid to show his personality, always congratulates other runners, talks about runners he respects/looks up to from other countries particularly jamaica, is constantly improving his speed and versatility, shows up and performs CONSISTENTLY even when he has a by and doesn't have to run and yet STILL people love to hate on him. Most disappointing of all, it seems like it comes primarily from non-USA black people. NO ONE has been more consistently fast at the 200m than Lyles, not even Bolt. Just give the man his respect already, sheesh.
Tebogo will be 25 y/o for LA Olympics. I think he’ll be the one to challenge Bolt’s 200m record if he stays healthy and humble. He may can do the 200m & 400m double like Michael Johnson. He’s got great potentials. Looking forward to seeing him perform.
Hassan taking home 5k Bronze, 10K Bronze, and Marathon Gold is pretty mind-blowing. She raced a total of 38 miles.

Lyles is a big fake and lying man, he said that he contacted covid two days before witch means he had it on the day of the 100 meter,why didn’t covid affect him after that race

This by a mile......
To me the biggest feat by far of the games was Sifan Hassan winning bronze in the 5000 and 10000 and winning the marathon with an Olympic Record.
Yes, this was the most insane performance by any athlete in any sport in the olympics.
Totally agree!!

5. Sydney splitting 47.71 after only a day off a 400m hurdles WR
I had 1 same for me as well. No one else is even close to those 2.
Rai 43.13 spit is slow..usually need 42s split...for example 100m split 8s vs world record 9s
@@misterben88 lol only MJ has run a sub 43 split. No one else. Remove the word 'usually' from your sentence
First of all, running a 43.04 split in the 8th race in a week is wild!!!
Found this channel bc of the Olympics, it’s absolutely amazing.
I found this channel during the Tokyo Olympics. Trust me, if you keep watching this channel, the summer of 2028 will be so much more fun to watch. Knowing more about the field in these events made it so enjoyable.
Same here
I was impressed by most of the races, especially those that were too close to call, like 100M
Tebogo is a 100m 200m and 400m medal contender and possibily gold medal winner, that is marvelous.
wym possibly? he is cmon
Thank you for doing this video. It is very important to be sure not to overlook greatness happen behind the spotlights. This man is insanely great already and I can't wait to see what comes next for him. He is actively changing the sprinting world as we speak. Even bolt didn't have this effect in the same way until after his world records.
Thank you so much TRP for giving us the front row seat to Tebogo's uprise. I remember when you used to post his junior days and I'm like, Why??? Now I know why. Thank you TRP.
Will be keeping a close eye on Tebogo over these next few years !!!
Thank you for giving Letsile Tebogo his props...you will not have to wait that long to see him do a 400m dash as he said in one of his Olympics interviews he will focus on the 400m after doing the 100m & 200m double in LA28. Lets hope he stays consistent and injury free and we will wotness something amazing!
There were a lot of races that were just amazing this Olympics. The women's 4x100 and 4x400, the men's 4x400, were absolutely amazing
He definitely has been the most impressive sprinter!!! Some haters said he wouldn’t transition well from juniors and I defended him. On your survey I picked him to win 200m gold. I believe it’s in the swinging of his arms it quite different.❤🇿🇦🌧🇧🇼
Tebogo's 200m, Hocker's 1500 and Femke Bol last strides on 4x400 Mixed Relay were by far the most shocking moments of the 2024 Olympics
Tebogo has one of my favorite running forms of all time. He looks so light on his feet almost as if he is being slightly suspended by invisible wires. My other favorites are Allyson Felix and Asafa Powell.
Seeing Quincy halls comeback in person was magical
Tebogo has a strong potential to eclipse 19.19 and run like you mentioned here 43.50sec once he does this he probably won't move down to the 100m again ..
@@shariffroberts3193He should become like MJ, a 200 and 400 guy. He's got potential to be good in the 100 sure, but no WRs there. 200 and 400 he can get into WR territory.
@@alansamuel2454 as i said under another video once he is done with 400m if he gets wr he can switch to 100m by putting muscle mass when hes older, which is probably also fitting to not become too muscolar when younger.
@@thegamer97HS Fair point. Yep if he gets the 400m wr it would be a good idea to put on muscle later and target the 100 and 200. But honestly I still refuse to believe anyone can approach the 9.58 mark. Lets see though.
@@alansamuel2454 I think people will get it sooner than we expect just cause of the fact bolt wasn’t dancing around in the last few meter like his other runs but still seemed like he considerably slowed down, he dove in but still his strides were slowing down, I may be wrong tho I’m no srpinter pro or anything remotely close
He ran the 43.04 split with 7 rounds of running in his legs. 3 x 100m, 3 x 200m, and 1 x 400m (relay heat). Something else.
The guy is born to run LET SET GO is embedded in his name... LETSilE TeboGO
Arshad Nadeem breaking the OR in Javelin by more than 2 metres and winning his country's first Olympic medal in 32 years.
Julian Alfred could potentially have the women 60M, 100M and 200M sprints in her grasp for the next four years
totally agree everything you say about tebogo...im excited to witnees his future feats..
I gotta give this to Sifan Hassan.what a phenomenal athlete. What makes her feats even more impressive is that the marathon course was a very tough one.if you watched the race, you'd know that the course had crazy elevation.
Femke Bol sprint at the 4x400m mixed relay for the gold medal was INSANE... generational athlete in the making
If he goes to Jamaica for three months to work on his drive phase of his race, he'll be a monster. Van Neekerk spent some time training with Bolt in Jamaica. I think Letsile and his coach would benefit immensely from a knowledge exchange and that's what Glen Mills and Steven Francis are known for.
Thank you Total Running Productions for first covering the rise and development of the SUPERSTAR sprinter Letsile Tebogo. Your coverage really gives us notice to who is up and coming !
One of the best accomplishment, is also Nafi Thiam taking her third Gold medal in a row at heptathlon. .. It’s a multi-event, you can fail at so many points,.. and still, 3 times olympic champion..
Great respect ✊🏾 for the eye opening story of this gem 💎 of Botswana 🇧🇼 and talent to the sport 🫵🏾💯🫡
Noah was just caught dancing in the club.🤔 Tebogo won Fair and square and in professional sports there's no excuses once u decide to compete. Tebogo is already almost to Legendary Status. A WR in the 300m, Gold Medal at Olympics in the 200m beating Lyles. 9.86 PR in the 100. And a 44.2 PR in the 400. All that at only 21yrs old. Can't wait to see what he does next!
his 400m time is already way lower
That is what I said if you sick you don't compete
He also posted he’s Covid free lol
Noah wasn’t gonna run under 19.45 anyways as well.. even if he ran something close Tebogo was cruising at 19.45 easy he would win either way. You right! No matter how you put it he is a champ. With all respect to Noah, Tebogo is 21 Noah is 27… time for the new King of Sprint to rise! Much love from Canada but an African brother (Ghana)
@@matthewbenin Well stated 💯
@TRP, another great video! One suggestion for the overall 1/2/3/400m calculation is that the 100m time should be multiplied by 4, 200m time x2, 300m x1.33. Then all added together. This will give equal weighting to the achievements in the shorter distances👍
For perspective, imagine comparing the achievements of athletes running the 100m and the marathon.
Tebogo’s coach has done a great job with this prodigious talent, but I hope Tebogo can move to the US or Jamaica or even Europe to take him to the next level!
Tebogo is the new face of sprinting......no doubt it. Bro is a triple threat.
That men 200m final was the highlight for me!
Tebogo is going to break the world record in the 200m
I doubt it
As a South African, I'm really happy to see my neighboring country winning!!🥳🇧🇼
I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA DO A VIDEO SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HIM ... ... I figure you know what's coming. HE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER THIS. and for the sprinting world. Each year he improves when he developes the physical way its over. TEBOGO IS LITERALLY BOLT IF NOT BETTER .. .. Many doesn't accept him yet but when they do its gonna stain HES GONNA GAIN the growd by performance after performance
lets calm down a little, he has the POTENTIAL to surpass bolt, but he's not better than bolt already everything considered... lets not jinx his future lol
@@Someone-hi1ntYea lol. He ain't getting anywhere near 9.58 for sure. 200 and 400 Tebogo can get the WRs someday down the line.
Thanks for putting all those stats together! It's cool to compare the athletes and marvel at Tebogo's times! Bright future!
0:05 Simone Biles being the by far the best gymnast in a sport where most athletes primes are at most 6 years
raygun was the goat of the olympics.
she made me feel like i now can be a olympian for breakdancing
Simone can quit if it's not going her way and get more credit than winning gold though like last time
He said athletics. Simone Biles does gymnastics
Tebogo humbling arrogant braggart Noah lyles was the most impressive and entertaining thing from the whole Olympic Games
@@edmondsfamily9577 I don’t think so 😬 it takes a hard work, dedication, and a once in a generation lack of skill to accomplish that.
Indeed Tebogo is the greatest sprinter of all time, at the age of 21 he ran 8 races in a single event and performed well..this is impressive
That's Bolt
Look forward to seeing Tebogo and Thompson becoming the face of men’s sprinting leaving Lyles throwing tantrum in a desperate attempt to get attention
Track and field is going to get more competitive and difficult as Africans are taking it serious now mark my words. Tebogo is going to inspire many young African.
Sydney!!! 50.37!!!
Tebogo is the future of the 200m. Lyle's is the soon to be past. Nuff respect to the young man. Stay humble, keep improving and the titles will come!!
Tebogo is a gawd
Sifan Hassans accomplishments are the greatest of this Olympics. She now has Gold medals in the 5000, 10,000, and the Marathon. She also has a Bronze in the 1500. He has the Olympic record in her very first Marathon and beat the current world record holder in the event.
Tebogo has accomplished so much at such a young age- very high potential and ceiling. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for him. Welcome to the top of the mountain- Africa’s time has arrived! 👍🏾
Tebogo is my favourite athlete since the Budapest World Championships
Why hasn’t anyone commented on Arshad Nadeem’s mammoth 92.97 metre throw in the javelin to break the OR?!? This guy comes from a country that would have hardly even realised that the Olympics was happening and with the minimal, non-ideal training facilities, he comes in and breaks the OR on the biggest world stage. Had he been an American or British, he would have been all over the global media by now and probably chatting with Snoop Dog.
Tebogo seems to have an effortless, gliding running style and a top gear in reserve that no one else has. I see him breaking the 200m and 400m WRs. He eased up crossing the line in the 200 and his 4x400 split was epic.
Tebogo chased Rai and almost clipped him w/ full 100 and 200m rounds in his legs. Add Sifan to the runs of the games.
Rai had many 400 meter hurdle runs behind him as well..
@@iflex1963 Rai had 3 400mH rounds in his legs while Tebogo had 3 100m rounds, 3 200m rounds & 4x4 semi already in his legs by the time they lined up for the Final!
Why you acting as if Rai was fresh?
@@kc5466Rai was fresh compared to Tebogo.
He had only 3 races.
Tebogo had 8....
@@JappaKneads three 100m races doesn’t even count for one full 400m race with hurdles. There’s a reason you can run two 100m races within an hour of each other and you can’t run two 400mh races on the same day.
Tebogo was a beast last week, lucky to watch him throw down! And props to Botswana for chopping 3 seconds off their African record from Tokyo. As an American I was shaking in my boots when Q Hall did not walk out for the relay. It’s a testament to the same depth you mentioned in the open 100 that the race produced these insane times even without the Olympic 400m champion.
Data question: does the aggregate 1+2+4 list change much if you scale the times? For example dividing the 200 by 2 and the 400 by 4 to make all races worth the same “value” (or using WA scoring tables?)
Tebogo might be the Michael Johnson and Bolt combined!
I am a former 800/1500 runner but love the 400 meters and the shorter sprints.For me Tebogo is probably the smoothest runner ever,as you know running is all relaxation his form is perfect no strain like a cat on hot thin roof😂 most importantly is his attitude if he wins or loses no big deal, does not put himself under too much pressure give him 2 years and the 200 record will go and if he trains for the 400 it should be in the region of 42.8 or less,the hundred is probably an impossible record 9.58 is beyond the reach of today's sprinters low 9.7s is achievable 9.6 will be difficult.Tebogo if he remains healthy is destined for greatness.
Letsile Tebogo doesn't look like he can run fast and he doesn't look like he is running fast when he is running, which leads me to believe that he will improve a lot more in the coming years.
Thanks for the brilliant and comprehensive explainer 👏🏽
Los Angeles, 2028, Letsile Tebogo, 9.69. This is my prediction, come back to this video in 4 years
considering his talent if he "wastes" 4 years just for a 9.69 in the 100m i dont know what he is doing. in 4 years if he switches to the 400 he can break both 200 and 400 wr.
I'm calling a 9.62
The Cuban wrestler deserves as much praise as Phelps. Truly incredible. he dominated the entire match and made history.
Erryon Knighton is the one who should be concerned about a prime Tebogo if he doesn’t improve in the next 3 years before LA28.
3:45 I think Tebogo’s relay split was 3rd fastest of all time, behind Michael Johnsons 42.90ish and Hudson Smith’s 43.00 from this race. Anyhow, amazing achievement.
I thought that too but Hudson-Smith's time was corrected to 43.09 a few hours later.
@@TotalRunningProductions thanks for the info man
Steph hitting four threes back to back to take the gold. Oh, I know, he's not in track and field. But that was so impressive that the glory flows over everywhere else.
Praise Jesus Christ! HALLELUJAH AND AMEN!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hope he keeps improving like he has been doing. I'm so excited to see how he does between now and the end of the LA Olympics, in all of his competitons.
As you state ONCE TEBOGO GETS MORE SPRINTING POWER HE WILL FLY and anything is possible.
Quincey hall epic comeback gotta be #1 bro reached into the depths of his soul to pull out that win
Man, I am not scared. This man is good. Stay humble, Tebogo. Remember Noah Liar's fall from grace. COVID? Please. Bow out gracefully; give credit where credit is due!
Nafi thiam for sure! Triple gold in athletics, done by bolt. Do you know any others ?
Seeing arrogant USA not winning 200m was a delight
Letsile Turbo-Go💥💨 to the world!!!!
For the first time in 3 years Noah isn't the top ranked 200m athlete. After watching the 19.5 race in London I knew it was just a matter of time.
Noah is still ranked #1 according to World Athletics. I was kinda amazed at that statement given Noah hadn't been beaten since the last Olympics. One race doesn't dethrone you. Tebogo is a formidable young talent but let's see how Noah responds. I refuse to believe he's now second or third best after four full years of dominance.
@@66fredo99 People out here showing their ignorance all over the olympics videos about Lyles, it's clear they're not real fans of the sport.
Dude has only lost like twice? in his professional career at the 200m, works hard to elevate the sport to bring in more revenue which benefits everyone in track-- including other countries, is not afraid to show his personality, always congratulates other runners, talks about runners he respects/looks up to from other countries particularly jamaica, is constantly improving his speed and versatility, shows up and performs CONSISTENTLY even when he has a by and doesn't have to run and yet STILL people love to hate on him.
Most disappointing of all, it seems like it comes primarily from non-USA black people. NO ONE has been more consistently fast at the 200m than Lyles, not even Bolt. Just give the man his respect already, sheesh.
Thank you for giving this man his flowers! Letsile Tebogo, re motlotlo ka wena bafana! Pula!
concerned by how few are mentioning mondo duplantis, quite literally left his competitors in the dust while breaking his own world record
Definitely a lack of mentions about Nafi Thiam's 3rd consecutive heptatlon gold medal
Thank you for focusing on in him, I was so sick of all the others!
Tebogo will be 25 y/o for LA Olympics. I think he’ll be the one to challenge Bolt’s 200m record if he stays healthy and humble. He may can do the 200m & 400m double like Michael Johnson. He’s got great potentials. Looking forward to seeing him perform.
And it shows me that dancing with all your team is the best way to celebrate!
