‘I’m Not an Arrogant or Loud Person Like Noah’: Letsile Tebogo Trolls Lyles After Defeating Him at Olympics
Letsile Tebogo trolls Noah Lyles after beating him to win gold in Men’s 200m at Olympics in Paris, France.
Lyles’ Pre-Race Antics Fail to Deliver Gold
Lyles, the American sprinter and a one-time Olympic champion, was seen jumping around and waving his arms in an apparent attempt to intimidate his opponents before the race. However, his bombastic entrance and bold predictions of victory failed to translate into a gold medal performance.

As the race unfolded, Tebogo proved to be the superior sprinter, leaving Lyles and his fellow American Kenny Bednarek, who won silver, in his wake. Lyles, visibly dejected, was later seen faking a collapse and blaming his loss on COVID-19, a claim that left many onlookers in shock.
Tebogo’s Humble Approach Contrasts with Lyles
Despite his stunning victory, Letsile Tebogo, the rising star from Botswana, remained humble in his approach, distancing himself from the “face of athletics” title that Lyles has often claimed.
“For me, I can’t be the face of athletics because I’m not an arrogant or loud person like Noah,” stated Tebogo.
