Letsile Tebogo is absolutely on fire in 2024, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down! From clinching gold at the Summer Olympics in the 200 meters to being named ANOC Male Athlete of the Year in Paris, he’s knocked it out of the park this year. Oh, and he’s also a finalist for the World Athletics Awards 2024, with the winner set to be announced on December 1.

Looking ahead, the upcoming World Athletics Relays 2025 in Guangzhou is set to be an event with a lineup of athletes like Noah Lyles and Letsile Tebogo, gearing up for fierce competitions during the event scheduled for May 10 and 11. It will be the first time China will be hosting it. There are five competitions scheduled—the men’s and women’s 4x100m, 4x400m, and the mixed 4x400m—making it a thrilling dash to the end.

As for the qualification process, it’s not going to be easy at all. The top 16 teams from the Paris 2024 Olympics automatically qualify, meaning the stage is set for another head-to-head showdown between rivals like Tebogo and Lyles. And if you think Letsile Tebogo’s resting on his laurels, think again. Recently, he posted on X, saying, “The oval is calling,” meaning training is calling him back to the track.

A few days ago, he shared, “Need to get back in the oval,” showing he’s fired up and eager to continue pushing his limits. With the way he’s been breaking records and stealing the spotlight next year as well, we’re in for more thrills as he takes the world by storm in 2025. He’s not just chasing dreams; he’s running them down, especially after defeating Noah Lyles twice in Paris!

Letsile Tebogo’s highlight was his gold medal in the 200m at the Paris Olympics. Now the 21-year-old sprinter from Botswana is gearing up for the upcoming season. His season kicked off strong, staying unbeaten in his first three meets, where he claimed victories at the Curro Podium Final, ASA Athletics Grand Prix 2, and ASA Athletics Grand Prix 3. While he’s best known for the 100m and 200m, he also stepped out of his usual races to run the 4x400m relay at the World Athletics Relays, helping Botswana secure a spot in the Olympics.

In Paris city of lights and love, Letsile Tebogo’s journey was a mix of ups and downs. He reached the finals of the 100-meter dash but secured a 6th position, which prevented him from clinching a coveted medal. Nevertheless, in the 200-meter race, a narrative unfolded as Tebogo emerged as the unlikely hero who outpaced the crowd favorite Noah Lyles not once but twice—first in a semifinal showdown and then, to everyone’s astonishment, in the gripping final race where he clinched the ultimate glory of Olympic gold.

Tebogo concluded his participation in the Olympics by securing a medal in the 4×400 meter relay event and played a role in Botswana’s impressive overall performance at the games. After such a year of achievements behind him, Letsile Tebitgetsa appears enthusiastic and fully prepared for whatever lies ahead.
