Tebogo splitting 43.04 with 3 100m rounds, 3 200m rounds & 4x4 semi in his legs is INSANE! S/O GB's MHS splitting 43.09 & Old Man Vern splitting 43.26 after splitting 43.50 in the semi!
@@DereckDean-yp7hh This race in 2024 was much much faster, much more high level. USA's time was the second best ever recorded and Botswana's time was the third best of all time. Tebogo ran the second fastest split time ever beating Michael Norman's 43.06s
@@yozkopf3000 I agree much faster . But less dramatic. The look of helplessness and hoplessness on the American anchor runner as the Bahamian overtook him was golden. He choose the perfect momment to reel him in .The rematch will be much different with Team Bostwana winning convincingly.
@@blank3279 I would say yes and no. I still believe that if Bolt had set aside a season to focus on the 400m, that he would have broken that record too.But Tebogo is now the only athlete I know of to ever have ran a sub 10 100m, a sub 20 200m and a sub 44 400m split at the same event!!
@@DOLEWDREW On Bolt let us praise him on what he achieved not Hypotheticals and personal wishes for him, he is undisputed sprint king in 100 and 200....Letsile might dominate the 200m and 400m(if he drops the 100m) by the way, Wayde van Niekerk is also in that league of sub 10 100m, a sub 20 200m and a sub 44 400m
@@Mntungwa77 pretty sure a lot of track fans as well.just because he beat Lyles in the 200, he is "officially" the best sprinter on the planet now?🤣🤣 Then I can also say Lyles beat him in the 100. He didn't even medal in the 100, whereas Lyles medaled in the 200. Don't write off Lyles just yet.
He is amazing in the 100 he can run close to 9.6 in a few years , in the 200 he can go close the world record and in the 400 he could break the world record
Tebogo is probably the most versatile sprinter the world has ever seen.. almost effortless! TRP you deserve a gold medal for those lighting fast post-race uploads and in depth analysis.. cheers for making the Paris 2024 OL even better!
This channel has been absolutely amazing during the olympics. I've missed a bit of it due to work but have been able to gain good insight here. Thank you, I am most grateful
Wow Tebogo is the future of sprinting. He is a naturally gifted speedster like McLaughlin. It comes naturally to them and is built into their legs. But the Ad has endurance and I have a strong feeling Tebogo can comfortably run and win any thing from 100 to 800 metres he has the perfect physique, excellent rotational speed and a high level of endurance that could propel him to the top in all 3 sprint and 800 mtrs events, well done to him. He could probably do both hurdling events and come up on top especiallly the 400 mtrs hurdles. A once in a lifetime talent.
What a great race and summary by TRP! Tebogo closing on Rai Benjamin was phenomenal! He has the physique of an 800m runner and wouldn’t be surprised if he could do some damage there too 👊
Yeah there's no debating it.... Tebogo is the Greatest Sprinter in the game rn. And what's even scarier.... he's still very young. Give him a couple more years.... 😨😨 I personally think he should do the 200/400m combo, like the great Michael Johnson. It definitely takes a special athlete to pull that off, but Tebogo IS that special. 🔥🔥🔥
Same! The first time I saw run I said he reminded me of young Usain Bolt. Then he got the 300m world record and I said that he should go after the 400m world record, and now this
Official race results (official Olympics website) show that Tebogo ran in 43.04 (fastest leg of the day), Hudson-Smith ran 43.09 (second fastest) and Benjamin ran 43.18 (third fastest).
This kid Letsile, is a BEAST! Can't wait to watch him develop into a juggernaut! I've watched him for a year or so and wasn't sure if he would be mature or humble enough because of his early races... Not often do you see someone this young continuing to improve and dominate like this! I really hope he continues to improve and push track and field to the limit!
Well done Tebogo for all the races that you have ran.I wish l could run like you in the future in women's team.mona o re bereketse ,o tshware fela jalo.🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
People are saying that Noah ran while having COVID but no ine is recognising that while grievingTebogo carried a whole entire nation on his shoulders and he saw it through to the end and gave his all. RESPECT. NETFLIX should take note of that and i hope they had allowances for we writing their scripts. He is phenomenal.
@@victoria_acto be fair I think it did affect him but I also think he would've lost anyways. 19.46 is no joke and if he has someone push him he probably could've went faster. We saw he was on pace to run a 19.6 but Kenny was on his ass and pushed him to run faster so if Noah was completely healthy he would've been on his ass even later and pushed him even further. Noah I think is still better at the 200 but he doesn't have the ability to run round like tebogo does who doesn't seem to get tired at all which is crazy because Noah is regarded as one of the best at running rounds
They put out 2 sets of splits. One rounded to the tenth (plus the residual hundredths from the photo time) immediately, then another set rounded to the hundredth later. Femke's 47.93? It's 48.00 in the second set of splits.
I've been saying for months that Tebogo's best event is probably the 400. As insanely good as he is in the 200, if you can run a 44.29 in the beginning of the season while not even going 100% and also not even training for a 400, it stands to reason that 400 is your best event. LOL. I'm betting that if he actually trained for it, he would easily go sub 43.
Tebogo trainings have things of the 400m. He said it in the interview when won the 200ms But yeah, he should run a official 400m and broke the WR, then focus in his speed, and broke the 200m WR. 100m seems difficult but maybe he could run 9.7s low
Thank Goodness we had Benjamin available. It took everything and I mean everything he had to hold off Tebogo. Great job to all the teams for making it such a fast race.
Hope Tebogo has a few more races this season, looks like he can pr in any sprint event right now (especially the 400) after he's rested from the olympics
Tebogo is everything Michael Norman should have been a 9.8 100m runner an Olympic champion in the 200m the world record holder in the 300m and can run 43.0s split in the 400m relays Tebogo could choose any event he wants in the 100-400m and he will be successful
Terrific race, a real gem. Like many others have said, possibly the best race ever seen at an Olympic event. Congrats all the way around. Important detail at time stamp 2:45 - please recheck the listed times for Botswana and the United States and fix the typo. (The winner can't have a slower time than the second place finisher in the exact same race.) :)
The 4x400 relay was very close between tebogo and Rai.but it's no surprised team u s won the goldmedal. Because they always have the best 4x400 relay team.both men and women.
@@FREESTWINDMANafrica? Only botswana. Stop taking the credit for one country lol. There’s over 52 countries in Africa and only one Tebogo who is Motswana.
@@BenevolentDictator13interestingly usa is a union of 50plus countries essentially. Makes sense yall have so much talent yall damn near a continent. Anyways africans always talk like this even when losing so i see no point in taking it away ffom fhem now so f off
A 43.0 split is easily a 43.5s 400m. Considering his 30.69s 300m WR (which I really hope he will try to run again because he could break that and push to unreachable territories forever) and his 19.46s new African Record make him the future of sprinting. I think he has the potential to be overall greater than Niekerk, Kerley and Norman put together. I can see a WR both over 200m and 400m. And a 30.5X over 300m. Maybe 19.15, and 42.9
Benjamin's endurance & strength from being a 400m hurdle boss allowed him to hold off Tebago - a man who seriously needs to think about moving up to the 200/400 double. Tebogo is amazing.
Omgosh!!! I’ve SO enjoyed all your recaps of all these races! Thank you for putting in all this work throughout the Olympics!! It’s been so fun to see the races and then come to your page to see what you’ve put together 🇺🇸
Hudson-Smith actually ran 43.09 in this race, not 43.00. Obviously splits are never 100% accurate, but I thought I’d just let you know. Tebogo definitely goes sub 43 if he’s fresh; running THIS FAST after 7 races in 7 days previously is just NUTS. I truly believe, if he trains for it, he can get the crazy 400m world record. He can probably approach the 200 wr as well at some point LMAO.
@@newtonpeart8573 Yeah I don’t think Tebogo gets the 100. He certainly won’t get it whilst being a 200/400 sprinter. You have to be explosive and powerful in the 100 whereas in the 200/400 (400 especially) you don’t need to be a much so. Tebogo isn’t that powerful of a starter and he doesn’t have lots of muscle mass, so he’s better suited to the 200 and 400. If he put on muscle then he’d be a better 100 runner, despite already being world class lmao. I’d love for any of those 3 world records to go. Records are meant to be broken!
@@AthleticsEditzsadly I don't think any of the runners today are breaking that 100m record. It's just too fast. Closest we'll see is probably Kishane Thompson and he could run a 9.6x but even that is not really close to 9.58
Yes I thought that Tebogo would close too. US made the right decision keeping him on anchor leg, I dont think any one else but him and most likely Hall could hold off Tebogo. But Hall has to be dead exhausted after the rounds so it makes sense.
@@alansamuel2454Hall pulled his hamstring. He definitely could've held tebogo off as well we already saw he had zero quit in him in the 400m final. But if Hall and Benjamin both ran I don't think it would've been as close and the us could've broke the world record. Just replace the first leg with Hall and you could realistically take a whole second off that relay
@@wesleyowens4089 Yes I just read about the injury little later. And I just meant that both of them would have guaranteed a win if on the anchor leg, I guess the phrasing as "hold off" I used was wrong. I don't think Deadmond or Norwood or Bailey could have held him off though if they ran anchor against him.
The arrival of Tebogo on the scene is that attention seeker Lyles worst nightmare 😂- Noah Lyles even faked a heart attack after being beaten by Letsile.- You go you good thing Letsile !
Why would Noah aspire to be Tebogo? He is more accomplished. Why does Lyles have so much real estate in your head? He isn’t even in this race. Focus on your silver 😂
@@DOLEWDREWHe might end up like an MJ but faster in the 100 also. But I dont see him getting the 100 WR though. 200 and 400 he can break someday. I'd be glad to be proven wrong though.
Tebogo after 8 round 100,200m,4x400m runs 43.03 like really?...Tebogo is not a 400m....bruh...😭😭😭 This man...what?... With fresh legs he running 43.16 in the open 400m
Thanks TRP you the best when it comes to keeping us updated with what's happening in track and field. I dont need news channels when it comes to updates on athletics - I have TRP. I love your musical introduction , the excellent content, your conclusion " Until next time " (very catchy and awesome ) followed by musical ending of the podcast. Keep up the good work- long may you keep running.
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1practically he already is. this performance shows he could already run a 43.5 at least. differently to Van Niekerk he has a way higher top speed.
Couldn't believe Botswana pushed them this close. The USA normally wins this race by a country mile. If Rai Benjamin wasn't in such great form. Phenomenal run from Tebogo.
Tebogo has the talent to break the mens 400m WR if he focus on that event . I would prefer him to rather focus on 100m and 200m ( the event which he will dominate in the next 2 - 5 years. Thereafter at the age of about 26 - 30 he can focus on the 200m and 400m like Micheal Johnson did. We need to enjoy watching him running the 100m and 200m for the next few years Thereafter we can enjoy watching him running the 400m . He have the potential to break both the 200m and 400m world records.
Tebogo is natural, he runs like a rotary engine. Everyone else runs like a piston engine. USAIN BOLT is the king of piston engine. I like to see if this new rotary engine can break WR for the 200m and the 400m.
