I'm from the United States and my fave sprinters are Gatlin, Noah Lyles, Christian Coleman and Fred Kerely. That being said, I must say Letsile Tebogo is fast becoming one of my favorite sprinters not just because he and I have a similar physical build. Because he is only 20 years of age and already proved he can be competitive in the 100M, 200M, 300M and 400M, he may still have tremendous upside. If there is one sprinter who can break Usain Bolt's records, Tebogo just might be the first one to do it.
Ye I saw Lythe run 44.33 I believe. Which makes him the 2nd fastest South African of all time behind d WAYDE VAN NIEKERK 🔥🗣🗣 Things are heating up here yo
Nice commentary; really positive and professional. This is like elders of the sport talking from experience about a youngster coming up. Keep it up gents.
I honestly never knew that Gatlin can be so articulate in describing and relaying his thoughts. I was always a Bolt fan when he was involved in races and I never took the time to know the man. Only to find out, what a great man and human being who is truly for the sport. Big ups to Gatlin, he should have a podcast...
@@wynnetg862 u know why?? Because there was a big scandal in mvp camp with an american who provided supplements for them fi taint dem camp. And dem had to fire him. I trust no american near our athletes. Since him known for drug ban twice and dem actually did wa lifetime ban him but didnt because dem feel he cud beat bolt mi afi rub him our thru and thru. Dun ca!
Very well said, at times we may not realise that God blessed this young man this way just for the specific reason that he can lift up many young African man and women. He chose this young man fir a reason. God never makes a msitake his plans are not our plans and his thoughts not our thoughts. Let his will be done.
There is so much talent in Africa, access to equipment, leadership and proper training is the biggest hurdle. As for Botswana and Namibia, they are very well run countries with good governance systems that are even better than most European countries.
I appreciate Mr. Gatlin's perspective and knowledge...he know of which he speaks..BTW...Bob Hayes running sub 10s on cinder tracks and with sub par shoes...still the fastest man ever to run
Interestingly the African sprinters making a mark is from Southern Africa,not West Africa where the direct ancestors of African American and Caribbean came from.We first had Frankie Fredericks from Namibia,then Wayde van Niekerk from South Africa, and now Tobogo from Botswana .
I never knew Gatling is as good as this i totally misunderstood him when he was running together with Bolt,Blake,Tyson gay etc he,s such a good &Cool guy ,humble and Talented gift to the world it was a pity he came in the era of Bolt he would've ruled the world of athletics
I think it has already started to shift. Lets remember that even though they did not win, 2 Zimbabweans and a Liberian made it to that same 200m final. So that's 4 african spots already ryt there out of the 8. I don't think that has ever happened before. The 2 Zimbabweans aged 23, i think. They definitely still have some running left.
McKinley, DQ, Wint, Rhoden, Trini Crawford, Lennox Miller (Inger's Dad), Merlene, Bert, Ray, VC, Tayna, Deon, Gottleshaw, Frater, Asafa, Sherone, etc... Jamaica had more than enough heros in the sport and I forgot several.
And the boy just did it. 🥇 200m Gold. 🥈 4x400m mens relay Tebogo is going to be a complete menace... To see him running one of the fastest split in relay final leg after multiple rounds from 100m,200m and ofcourse semis in 400m relay, it was just an incredible thing to watch,. He will be a train with no brakes in the next world champs and Olympics 🔥🔥🔥
Don't agree. He will be better off forgetting the 100m. And concentrating on the 200/400. Or he is gonna come up short. He is never gonna boss the 100. But he could be the new Michael Johnson over 200/400. The only question is will he realize this...
Justin Gatlin talking like he hasnt raced with Akani Simbine who was From South Africa 😂and he has once got smoked by him in a race.Sinbine has been running since 2015 up to the 2022 worlds reaching the final..
My man jog through the first 100 and picked it up the last 100…he could’ve easily beat him if he had taken the first 100 more seriously….only Lyles have a chance against Tebogo
And there’s no reason why Africa shouldn’t dominate or at least do relatively well in the sprints too. More so the people currently doing well are mostly of African descent as well
I say this with the greatest respect for tebogo. Firstly really wish u can pronounce his name properly. It's not Te Bo Go. Then 2ndly the real pioneers for spring in africa is Franky fredricks and recently wayde. Bt with Wayde I get why he not mentioned
You are exagerating because there were many Africans who have done very well in sprinting long before Tebogo. Frankie Frdericks and Obikwelu and many others from Africa who have made the finals of 100, 200 and 400m . I really do not see what the hype is all about. If you know athlethics then you would know that Africa has always done well in sprinting
The more I listen to Gatlin,the more I like him ...
as a Jamaican listening especially.
Gatlin out here winning people's hearts.
Humble honest guy ,❤
I've always loved Gatlin, he always been a solid individual but alit of ppl always mentioned the negative,, he a solid brotha.
Frankie Frederick had great influence as well for the continent of Africa.
Thank you! That's the name I was struggling to remember!
But Frankie cudn win with all these juice up athletes back then. 😂

🎉 you called it! Now Gold Olympian in the 200m
Y’all finna see the South African youth in the next couple years 🤞🏽I swear , serious talent in the sprints

So much talent in Africa. Role models + opportunity = future of sprinting
Nice commentary; really positive and professional. This is like elders of the sport talking from experience about a youngster coming up. Keep it up gents.
Gatlin needs netflix series looking for sprint talents around the world.
💯❤
Gatlin walks the talk. His experience as an elite athlete, makes his commentaries more credible!
Yea behind his drug bans 😂

justin gatlin is so humble to acknowledge Africa achievement. i like the way his perspective is so accurate
Been watching you guys videos recently didn't know buddy was a Bahamain. 242 all over the place love it
He just won congrats to him
I think this Youngman, truly has the potential to become the next Usain.
😂. He need that magical substance like what in Jamaican food
I had to come back to this. Great show!
Africa is to core to of eveyone.. we just branches. Like music, Africa is about to advance in athletics too
He just proved it 🔥🔥🔥

Nigerians have been the sprinters. Obikwelu, Blessing, etc. Jamaica was huge in sprints before Bolt.
Justin's commentary is always on point.
I really have gained some valuable Track and Field information from this video cast;
Please keep the content on the subject of Track and Field Only!
Big up Justin. Great words from you
Let set go 💨 needs an interview on this channel because his name is not letsile tebogo is name is LET SET GO!
Gatlin spoke into the future!
Who here after the gold 🔥backed his word

Innocent Ekbineke from Nigeria too.

Gatlin’s memory is too short. We forgot Isaac Makwala VanNiekirk
Are they sprinters
@@africanubia7638 they were the fastest 200m runners in 2017. 1 and 2

Keith Gardener was 4th in 1960 or 64 100mH too.
The pioneer was Frankie Frederick for the people who knows ! But Tebogo is the future ! GO Tebogo !
Yes. He ran 19.66
Come on Gatlin, you my guy, but Bolt beat you so much that he f your memory. Long before Bolt there been top Jamaicans
Frankie Friedericks had set world record for the 200m and still holds it for the indoor. Won multiple silver medals
Tebogo won a gold medal ...he is an olympic Champion🎉
More power to Tebogo!
Tebogo wants all the smoke, and he is arrogant talented enough to back it up!
He did get some smoke on 420. It was called the Lindsay pack and got caught choking.💨💨💨 All the smoke
@@27baltimoreOkay that was a good one 😂😂
@@27baltimorewait what is 420..?.😂
@@27baltimore lindsey is a fluke....by olympics he will be finished..
@@27baltimore both got the same time 19.71s
the old man look like @blackvreka from South Africa doing fitness dance routine.
Tebogo is pronounced with a soft g (like an "h") sound - as if it were written Teboho instead of Tebogo
And the boy just did it. 🥇 200m Gold. 🥈 4x400m mens relay

@@stevemann1299 only time will tell
I don't think there's a podcast like this for Athletics. It highlights how neglected Athletic content has been by major platforms.
Can't talk about African sprinting without mentioning Akani Simbine and Wayde van Niekerk.

botswana had a 4x1 and they went on to run 38.19 at African champs but they got dq'd and couldn't go to Paris
Wait ...Lindsey had him in that 200m even thought they both ran the same time...19.71s(-1.5m/s)
My man jog through the first 100 and picked it up the last 100…he could’ve easily beat him if he had taken the first 100 more seriously….only Lyles have a chance against Tebogo

Obikwelu ran his best races for Portugal. Frankie Fredricks was the truth. Still the 200m Indoor World Record holder.
The hype is that we do it not so many times and him being the first african to medal in 100m World Champs makes the hype legit
Gatlin knew what he was talking about.
True.its only that Tebogo is at a totally different level. Take. Africa a notch higher.
Noah lyles was so arrogant
