Botswana's Letsile Tebogo claims a surprise 200m gold as American Noah Lyles is denied an Olympic sprint double at Paris 2024.
Botswana's Letsile Tebogo claimed a surprise Olympic 200m gold medal as Noah Lyles was denied a sprint double at Paris 2024.
It emerged after the race that Lyles had tested positive for Covid and the 27-year-old had to be helped off the track in a wheelchair. That was a dazzling return for Tebogo at his first global championship, but it was nothing compared to his achievement at the Stade de France as he marked his first Olympics with a gold.Tebogo, sixth in the Paris 100m final, lined up with a 200m personal best of 19.50 – notably down on the favourite's 19.31.
