Nobody Has EVER Done This In The 100 Meter Dash 

Maybe it was his choice.

No way someone would say no to that ​@@NelsonJ1

@@sportstalkwithmahim3772 plenty of athletes would and likely did. Not everyone wants a camera in their face for a Netflix series when they are trying to focus on being their best. Fred Kerley complained about how he was depicted in the series and basically called it trash. So there you go.

I agree. It must be because Tabogo is off the radar of major sponsors. Follow the money.

If the him you reference ks Tebogo, he doesn't have a world title. They tool the beat of the best. Stop being butt hurt.

Thank you

Tried to watch it with wife but she thought Noah Lyles was such an asshole could not get beyond the first few minutes

@@Number69 people been saying this what did noah do 😭

​@@h4xagon909 I started thinking to myself. Man...what did he do to make them niggas that mad

@@h4xagon909 walking around dressed like a pimp in awful designer clothes, vain, thinking he is above people. Outside of sprinting no one knows him, he should have some humility

Francis was the Silver medalist for the 100 m 2004 Olympics Gatlin barely beat him to win gold

There was Mary Onyalis bronze in 200 in 1996

Great knowledge

Yes. And Gatlin was found to have used drugs and stripped of his gold medal. Which means an African athlete has indeed won gold!

Yea that was sad

It works that way in every beginning season tho. Mercedes Benz weren’t even in the first drive to survive

Because he’s talking bout the Olympics not the world championships??

Exactly like I was watching the scene how tebogo was storming down the straight to catch noah and they bearly gave it recognition because that was truly legendary, bro even broke the 300m WR and made it look like a walk in the park.

He was in most of Lyles races including the paris diamond league and london diamond league and budapest

1. Lyles 2. Thompson 3. Kerley Whose he displacing in the 100👀

⁠@@user-zy2ts9cs2xreplace kerley with bednarek

@@user-zy2ts9cs2x I don't think Kerley will medal. Oblique Seville I think has a better chance for 3rd than Kerley right now. I agree though, I don't see Tebogo medaling in the 100m (though not impossible), I see him medaling in the 200m with Lyles & Bednerak.

@@richardgallimore5976but the thing with people who have good starts like Seville is that they are not very consistent. If he is on form he will medal but who knows if he will be on form

@@JimmyKim-fb1ji I feel like he's more consistent than Kerley. Kerley's times seem to be a bit more all over the place & he didn't make the final last year while Seville did if I remember correctly.

💀

Seems more racist than stupid

REGGIE WALKER 100M GOLD MEDALLIST!!! LONDON 1908!!!! FROM SOUTH AFRICA

As Africa develops and there are better training facilities their stars will come to dominate the sprints as they’ve done with the distance races and steeple chase

Talking about Americans Jamaican dominance in the shorter distances, Marie Jose ta Lou has world champs silvers in the 100 and 200 metres. Wade van Niekerke of South Africa is 400m world record holder Namibia’s Frankie Frederick’s won silvers in both 200m and 100 at two Olympics, Nigeria’s Innocent Egbunike won an Olympic Bronze in the 400m, Tobi Amusan of Nigeria is 100metres hurdles world record holder at 12.06s, Glorie Alozie of Nigeria won the 100mtrs hurdles silver at the 2004 Sydney Olympics . In the sprint relays Nigeria won silver in the 4x100m men and a Bronze in the 4x100m women at the Barcelona Olympics. They won a Bronze in 200m women at the Atlanta olympics games and the Long Jump women’s Gold in Atlanta, they also won 4x400 gold at the Athens Olympics, and have been quite dominant in the women’s long jump at recent world and Olympics with Ese Brume and Blessing Okagbare winning a clutch of Olympics and world silver and bronze medals between them in recent years, it’s not always been just Americans and Caribbean’s with better sports facilities, training, and nutritional support African athletes are starting to emerge as potential 100 and 200 Olympic champions.

The Sprints often favour the powerfully muscled ‘Eastern West Africa’ type of physique, this physique is native to the rain forest belt of West Africa which stretches from Cote D’Ivoire in the west through , Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria and Western Cameroon. These powerful solidly built types are the African ancestors of black Americans, carribeans and Afro Latinos. The reason they came to dominate the Americas was because they were the only group of kidnapped Africans that had the highest survival rate on the atrocious slave galleons transporting kidnapped Africans for enslavement in the Americas. When the Europeans found that this type of black African had the physical and mental ability stamina and to withstand and survive the atrocities of the Atlantic journey and their enslavement on plantations in the Americas the Europeans re-focused the sources of kidnappings on Eastern West Africa which is the area between present day Togo and Nigeria which officially became known as the slave coast. It is from this area that the overwhelming majority of the ancestors of modern day African Americans, African Caribbeans, and Afro Latinos come from so they inevitably share the same powerful muscled/stocky physiques and genetic traits with their continental Eastern WEST African cousins I.e. the Nigerians, Ghanaians, Ivorians, Togolese, Benin and Cameroonians and these traits determine their success at high energy high intensity sports like the sprints long jumps, boxing soccer basket ball, football . Bantu people who now live in east, central and Southern Africa are also of West African descent having migrated eastwards from the Bantu original homelands in Eastern Nigeria to populate the rest of subsaharan Africa. The dominant long distance runners are East African non-Bantu Rift valley Nilotic African types with slender sleek physiques who share dna genes with south Sudanese, Kenyans Ethiopians Eritreans, Somalians, Rwandans, Ugandans, Chadians etc, these peoples have a physique that suits long distance running and marathon races. They don’t have the powerful muscular build of West African types that you find also in Americas. The high energy power muscle West African physique is great for high intense short bust of energy type of sports like the sprints, long jump, triple jump up to 400 metres and heavy duty fast sports like football, boxing, basketball, wrestling, weightlifting. For example West African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Cote D’ivoire dominate soccer/football on the African continent and in America black Americans dominate football, baseball and basketball. And in Brazil Afro Brazillians do the same with soccer. So it’s down to genetics. West African types in Africa may not have been dominant the 100 and 200 metres simply because Americans have access to the best sporting facilities, coaches and athlete care At least up till recently. When African sprint athletes go to study in America they eventually emerge into .sporting prominence. Corruption and poor economic conditions have marred the development of sports in continental sporting powerhouses like Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon etc but this is becoming a thing of the past as those countries and the rest of subsaharan Africa are starting to move into middle income economic status and their economies are no longer geared to serving their former colonial masters in the West.

Is he going to be in the 2024 Olympics? I haven't heard much about him since the 2022 World Championships. If he's still got the wheels to run

Are you serious? Simbine has been running consistent 9.9x this season, at meets as big as Diamond League @crosslink1493 Surprised you didn't know that if you are currently watching track.

He's really good but he's also getting old

Also hi hinchik from London the have Asian kid. Is being slep on. And in the 400 the 19 year old kid who will run for Canada. An England sprinter also. And doom from Belgium are being slept on.

​@@jacobdoyle420dude is commenting while not watching track

The same thing happened in The Last Dance. Australia was obviously too far to send a camera crew, so the film was edited to make it look like Luke Longley wasn't on the court.

Makes sense

Then they shouldn’t have rush to create a documentary if they can’t add the main stuff -

@@Nathaniel676 they had to rush in order to finish on time and get ready for season 2. They had to pick a few people that were locks for medals and with tobogo being so young it’s not hard to imagine not including him on season 1. No need to question it. It was well made for what it was and we should appreciate Netflix for doing what they did. It will help grow the sport.

But why show Zharnell Hughes instead of Tebogo? Tebogo ran much faster than Zharnell

​@brownmamba6538 Because the winner takes the spotlight! One Luv ❤!!!

@@TheTredoc Zharnell didn't win, bro. He didn't even beat Tebogo yet Zharnell got mentioned and Tebogo didn't

​@@brownmamba6538probably because he's Canadian. And if we're being honest that race is what put tebogo on the map, before that he wasn't really taken serious

@@wesleyowens4089 he's not canadian Hughes is from the UK, and Tebogo already made some records before that race, your points are not that valid

Unfortunately Lyles and Richardson are incredibly unlikeable.

@@XDF745not at all.

@@Nickster7They’re pretty unlikeable.

@@Nickster7 Noah just cocky but he can back it up so well and let’s not forget a couple of years ago Shacarri Richardson was hated for her antics on social media

@@XDF745not true

I suppose that by American you mean "USAian"? There are quite a number of American nations you know.... As a non-American I am rooting for Tobogo, it would be such a refreshing change from always seeing the Jamaicans (and once in a while the USAians ) on top 😂

He should run the 200 & 400

Never .....its too funny to watch

@@FollowTheLight- Probably because most of the 'fans' aren't fans

i hope Kishane goes sub 9.75 in the Olympics

@@sabbialmighty7249 i just want to see a 9.7 on the screen, the last couple world events we haven’t gone sub 9.8

True, but he was from Trinidad & Tobago, in the Caribbean off the north coast of South America. The video was about African sprinters.

Hasely Crawford represented Trinidad and Tobago which is a country in the Caribbean and not in Africa.

But...Tebogo didn't win. And that's always going to be a factor when an American company is laying out a lot of money to make a "docuseries' about a minor sport in the US. Netflix isn't going to shell out millions to tell the story of an African teenager who ALMOST beat an American "hero." They might as well flush the money down the toilet because that's getting no views. In the end - it's always about the bottom line.

@veritasjustice7878 was it in a World or Olympic final?

I looked up boling’s medals and it’s all relays. He can’t do anything by himself

I wanted to mention that too, let's be honest bro. No one's gonna acknowledge him for reasons I want say

@@khumokwezimashapa2245 You can share your opinions about this. Personally, I don’t think he’s not being acknowledged, especially in this video. With his name next to the Union Jack flag in most lists, it’s easy to make a mistake that he was a British athlete. South Africa had genuine representation in the early Olympic Games. There were even Tswana athletes in the marathon of 1904.

@@mduduzigama5534 Ye the old SA flag could be mistake for the U. Jack. However I think Andrew(TRP) specifically missed it by accident. There's also other reasons he probably isn't acknowledged, but it'll get political. SA was a former British Colony after all, so if makes sense that he would put GB by mistake.
