About: In this video we discuss Letsile Tebogo of Botswana and his potential in the 2024 Track & Field season after starting off his year running a 300m World Record - กีฬา
IN ONE OF THE DIAMOND MEETS I SAW TEBOGO GAIN NOTICEABLY ON LYLES IN THE LAST 50 METERS,SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FOR PARIS
Even without the 300m time he ran, his natural progression to 19.5 suggests he is going to go much faster this year. I don't see 19.4. I see him going 19.3 or better and yes I do compare last year to Bolt's 2007 and this year is going to be insane. He seems to have more strength and control. He will definitely challenge Noah in the 200m. Personally i think he should do the 100m and 200m and then use an off year, such as 2026 to try and go for the 400m record.
Two times world junior champion over 100m
Broke the world junior record three times in six months
The current news circulating here in Botswana is that last season he was forced to abandon the 100m training and only focus on endurance for the 200m that's why he was mainly running the 300 and 400
Every 100m race he ran last year was not trained for at all, he only relied on his natural speed
Interesting and agree with actual randome, that would make sense considering he didn't improve in the 100, but drastically stepped up in the 200m (2nd half) and 400m. But well see how things pan out this year!
Noah Lyles will be freaking out right now.
@@johnsonanumhe should be tebogo is better than him
No lyles has run 19.31 tebogo 19.50. He’s not at his level yet. Until he runs 19.31
@@trinidadrodriquez876 Lyles ran that 19.31 two years ago. Since then, their PBs have grown closer (Lyles ran 19.47 and Tebogo ran 19.50 in July 2023). Athletes focussing on 200m usually start their season by running 400m or 300m to improve stamina, while athletes focussing on 100m begin with 60m to improve their starts. Tebogo has already broken the 300m world record this year, and he's gunning for his first Olympics. What does that tell you about his 200m performances later this summer?
Tebogo is the outlier for this current generation. He has top end speed and the endurance, and also a good start, If you look at the splits from last year's 100m final he was up there with Coleman in the first 40m. That is a dangerous combination.
Noah is my guy but Tebogo has me nervous. I believe Tebogo can do anything. I'm not ruling out anything with this guy. His running style is so relaxed.
19.5 last season and looks much faster and stronger this year with that 30.69. I Would say he is capable for 19.3 this season. If Lyles doesn't improve on his 200 PB i think Tebogo has a dam good chance of beating him this year. This is going to be a race to watch come Paris
It's crazy he would have ran 9.82-9.84 if he had not showboated at 19 yrs old...
The only teen to run sun 10 in the 100 and sub 20 in the 200 his resume is crazy
His first pro season he ran 9.88(100m) and 19.50(200m) and 44.75(400m) ...and got double medals at worlds
And was his first time double at a world stage on his first pro season who does that??!!...and he said he was just looking for experience
So I think this season is gonna go hard...
Maybe. I think how much showboating slows you down is debatable. He probably could have his 9.85 or better, but maybe. This year he is very likely trending towards 9.8 low.
But agree that this season should go hard!!
@@TheFinalLeg that 9.77 AR by Omanyala could go down..😭
@@TheFinalLegThe splits I had for Tebogo suggested 9.86-7.. really didn't lose that much over final
20m compared to his 9.94 from Eugene and his 10.00 from Heats.. 9.88 (0.0) in Budapest last year is a few hundredths better than a theoreticaly 9.86A from year before imo
Tebogo has massive potential and I do believe he will challenge if not defeat Lyles in the 100/200 this season. The only sprinter whose top speed matches Lyles which I think the only way anyone has a chance of beating him.
People forget that Lyles right now is in the best shape of his life. All things considered, if he runs the 100m and 200m, he’ll most certainly medal
In the 100m and win the 200m. Tebogo is clearly the superior talent but he hasn’t reached his potential yet.
On a different note, no sprinter capable of dominating the 100m bothers to run the 400m because 100m sprinters are far more popular and get paid significantly more. Compare Steven Gardner’s social media following to Marcel Jacobs, Fred Kerley during his 400m days to Fred Kerley after joining the 100m club…
I’ve always thought that Tebogo’s best event is the 200m. I think that his performance over 300m showed great speed endurance and some strength, which IMO more directly translates to the 200m and 400m. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on Botswana’s 4x400m relay team in Paris. From the speed endurance and strength that he demonstrated over 300m, I think that a slight improvement in his 100m performance will translate to a much more significant improvement in the 200m (low 9.8 to high 19.3).
Pretty much agree here and yes, almost certain assuming health? He will be on the 4x4 at the Olympics for Botswana
A VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT PRESENTATION FELLOW,ITS NOT EASY TO PREDICT THESE THINGS,MY FEELING IS TEBOGO WILL WIN THE 200 IN PARIS OR BE SECOND TO ANDRE DEGRASSE..LYLES ALWAYS HAS BAD LUCK IN THE GAMES
Noah used to be the indoor 300m. World record holder
Correct, but never ran an outdoor 300 to have a relevant comparison to his 200m times
Lyles is the previous indoor 300 world record holder and Gardiner is the current...
Before Noah it was 200m runner Wallace Spearmon as well.
Correct, but Lyles never ran an outdoor 300 to give context to his 200m. Gardiner is a 200/400 runner which does give much context to the 100/200 athlete that Tebogo is
No doubt Tebogo has an amazing stride and is very talented. His top four 100m times last year were 9.88, 9.93, 9.98, 10.05. I see him as more of a 200m threat than 100m threat. He did take second at WC, but .004 secs separated 2, 3, 4 and he could have easily taken 4th. I think it's going to take a sub 9.80 to win and sub 9.85 to medal. Lyles, Kerley, Coleman.
I wish he run 200m in 19.25 and 400m anything below 43s.May God bless him with good fitness.
Tebogo is a Premier League athlete, but we should never compare breaking the 300m event as the same as breaking the 100 , 200 or 400m. The reason is that the 300 is run early season , when athletes are not up to speed as yet , and also it's not a regular event on track . Lots of 400 athletes would run better times closer to the Olympic starting dates if tested . Even Tebogo himself would do better times over the 300 later in the season when peaking .
Well would you not think that it is frightening what he could do when he arrive in Paris.
@@newtonpeart8573 it's definitely going to put the rest of the world on notice. The only other athletes to run the 300m in under 31 seconds are Usain Bolt who holds the 100 and 200 world records as well as anchoring the only sub 37 second 4×100 relay, Michael Johnson who held the 200 and 400 world records plus anchoring the only sub 2:55 4×400 relay and Wayde VanNeikerk who holds the world and Olympic record for the 400. If Steven Gardiner and Michael Norman are in peak condition, it's probably going to require running close to 43 flat to win the Olympic gold medal
I was thinking about, what was the shining moment of his 19.5.I can’t remember but someone said he had the fastest or one of the fastest last 50s of all time in a 2. So when I think about this 300 performance, I don’t really c his speed endurance improving tooo drastically for the 2, his area of main improvement that can challenge Noah will be his first 150 if that doesn’t drastically change, I don’t think I c him giving Noah much a a challenge at oly.
I still think tebogo will definitely pb in the 2, but I think Noah is also gonna pb particularly after 6.43/44, so Imo this is Noah’s year to get the wr. Tebogo is deff a favourite for silver this year tho.
He already has the sub 10 100m and the sub 20 200m. Will this year bring a sub 43 400m to become the fourth man to accomplish all three?
Letsile is like an even more extreme version of Noah Lyles. He starts even slower and finishes even faster. I don't think you can predict too much from this 300m performance, because it's his strength that is his strength, if you see what I mean. I would say this is more of an indicator for a faster 400m, although it does suggest some improvement in the shorter distances, it's likely that his speed maintenance has improved more than his top end speed. It's quite difficult to tell, given that he slowed down so much at the end of the race last year. Either way, his WR has generated even more interest and excitement, these Olympics could be epic.
He doesn’t start slow at all did you watch a single race of his???
Considering he has better top speed than Michael Johnson, I don't doubt he can go 19.3x and possibly even challenge Noahs pb 👀
@@actual_random you make a good point but Tebogos finishing strength seems to be in a much better a place than last year, just came off an injury and we've barely started the season. All speculation though. I don't see him going sub 19.30 this year though that would be a stretch.
@@actual_randomTebogo has better top end the MJ he closed that 300m in 10.4 ...remember in london he closed on Lyles as well...
@@actual_randomwas MJ 20 yrs when he ran the WR exactly give Tebogo some breathing room...
@@k.o6157no Tebogo closed that last 100 in 9.27 Michael Johnson in his 19.32 run closed in 9.20 so he’s still faster
@@jaredbowen3527dang I was talking about the 300m but MJ is superior in the 200m golly...9.20😮
Tebogo has run less than 20 competitive 200m in his professional career. His performances in 200m should be viewed in a similar lense to knightons 100m accomplishments
Top 4 times in a class of their own
... But that top one shaved a healthy 0.12 sec too
He's a 400m guy that's for sure
He can add some salt n pepper to taste on the 100 n 200m if he wants
It's time for my country to get famous we are going to dominate the world for the next 10 years, he is not only representing Botswana but the whole of Africa and black family 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s not as simple as you think. Everyone thinks that if one strong athlete arrives, he is automatically going to dominate for the next decade or so as if the rest of the athletics world will stand still. There will be other young guys coming up making names for themselves in the next couple of years. Almost nobody heard of Knighton or Tebogo 4 years ago yet 2-3 years later they are collecting medals at the world level in the sprints.
There is already a 16 year old sprinter named Gout Gout from Australia that once he continues to progress is going to be a serious problem for the pros once he starts running against them.
@@jermaineayivoh8263 100%agree but will see because the times the guy is posting sometimes not even trying that hard as if he doesn't understand the importance of time is just crazy to think how faster anyone else is supposed to run, I've seen him breaking time records but finishing taking it very casual that's what worries me for other sprinters what if he takes it seriously at the finish line
The thing is Tebogo can choose between the 100m 200m and 400m because he is elite in all of them....but you can not run all of them in the Olympic and the 100m and 200m double is the easiest to do. Plus Tebogo greatest even is definitely the 200m it's like the sweet spot between the 100m and the 400m. With this said I think Noah is going to take the double gold 😂, but Tebogo is going to win medal for sure
“Can Tebogo actually beat DeGrass” watchu mean bro he already did beat him in Gaborone Grand Prix by a margin last season
Talking about at the Olmypics when everyone is theoretically heathy and full strength.
Yes anyone can beat anyone on any day in any one off race.
@@TheFinalLegfor noah lyles is different tho...his been unbeaten for 2yrs +
People thought bolt would have demolished the 400m
Never happened well the reason is he himself said there's a limit.Noah Lyles Tokyo Olympics he was 3rd however before that at the WC no one came close to him.Andre won at Tokyo not even below 19.6.Lyles came back and broke MJ's American record.No one since 2009 till 2017 ever came close to what BOLT,Gay,Powell and Gatlin did.The only thing we noticed is Coleman's killer start from the blocks and Lyles dominate the 200m.This once in a BLUE MOON 300m or whatever never ever once defined a champion.All this is about making videos with a title called what if.
Hahaha you went in! But I think that's why I made this about managing expectations. Sure we could see Tebogo run extremely fast and break more records, but he could also run 9.80 and 19.40 which would still be legendary IMO
Point I've been making re the M300m WR is that Prime WvN never got the chance to break his 300/400m WRs; Bolt only ran it once; and that the current Top 200/400m guys (Lyles, Knighton, Bednarek, Norman, Gardiner) haven't gone out of their way to run the outdoor 300m! There's clearly been a big improvement but once you account for not running through the line last year & altitude adjustments, it's not to the scale that those who're getting carried away with 200/400m WR talk assume it is. With the introduction of a 3rd Global Outdoor Champs in '26 which is meant to be 'faster paced over 3 nights with only the most popular events selected which will only have Semi & Final rounds as the athletes compete for the biggest prize pot in the sport', would be fun to see someone attempt a crazy Sprint Triple or at the very least try an 'unusual double' e.g. Kerley 100/400m double?!
Wayde ran his 300 record close enough to his prime (a week removed from his best 200 ever and a week before 43.6), and we don't even know what Tebogo's prime is yet
@@AJT127 Wayde got that near career-ending injury that year (at age 25) in which he'd just run his 100/200/300m PBs over a 3wk period and was just getting going. Bolt in his sole attempt got the pacing wrong by going too hard in the 1st 100m (about 0.4s faster than WvN, MJ & Tebogo) which he paid for in the 3rd 100m with the slowest split of the group.
Could you please elaborate on that 2026 champs you mentioned? Never heard IAAF mention anything about it
@@khumokwezimashapa2245 World Athletics CEO Jon Ridgeon was recently on the 'Anything but Footy' Podcast in which he talked about this new non-WC/Olympics Global Champs starting in '26, but it got lost in the uproar surrounding the LJ Zone Trial that he brought up in the same interview. It's about 30mins long & worth listening to!
@@AllInTheGame01 Could you please send me a link if possible
100 meter gold for Tebogo this year
If he can run Coleman down 👀🏃🏽♂️ That 2024 60m title says he is back in shape 💪🏾And we have seen Coleman run 9.76
