Letsile Tebogo won Botswana their first ever Olympic gold medal! and became the first African to win the men’s 200m at the Olympics.
He dedicated his gold medal to his mother who passed away just a few months ago. His nails have her initials and her birthday on his track spikes to honor her.
The hate against Lyles from this Olympics has been wild😅. Listen I don't really rock with his finger nail paintin but that doesn't mean imma deny his skill. We gotta tackle the unneeded hate in his two different Olympic races.
100 meter Dash: Why is Lyles getting criticized for him winning a race even if it was close. The amount of delusional people watching the race and not knowing the Torso crossing the line is what defines the winner is insane 😭. You don't see ribbons at the ankle or foot for races do you😅. Let's go back to the Beijing World Championship race between Justin Gatlin & Usain Bolt. Now of course Bolt is the fastest ever in this race but he also won by a close margin here. And guess what he dipped his chest to solidify his win 👌🏿🤣. How crazy it is to justify folks biasness and delusional 💀
200 meter Dash: Lyles has has been undefeated in the 200m for the last 3yrs and folks confidently believe he just decided to lose . Or better yet because Tebogo & Kenny were too insanely fast. As explained in my other thread (search Lyles tag on page) Two things can be right and done. We can both congratulate Tebogo on the race and actually understand Lyles had caught Covid. You're telling me it's insane to believe Covid slowed down a guy who never lost a 200m race in 3yrs😭. Also let the record show in both the 100m & 200m Lyles has always placed better than Tebogo in a race. Lyles literally one the 100m Olympic race with Tebogo in it. So what changed from the 100m to 200m🤔. I don't wanna keep harping on it because ultimately a race is won by whoever is the best on that day. Letsile won and should celebrate his Gold 🥇. But let's just stop the Lies on Lyles like he's just slow compared to Tebogo.
To reiterate: Lyles has placed Better 7/7 times he raced Tebogo before the Olympics. After the Olympics the record is Lyles has won 8/10 races between them.
As I mentioned in the Link folks hate confident Black People in any forum. Sports is no exception . Read it and understand I won't ever go against my own 👌🏿
