Being a Jamaican, Justin Gatlin was never a favorite of mine. Nothing personal…just business. I’ve gotta admit that over time he is growing on me. He is insightful, measured and thoughtful. He brings a realness and clarity to what happens behind the scenes that regular folks never get to see or experience. His passion for the sport seems undiminished. I just subscribed to the channel- something I never thought I would do. Nicely done Justin…
I’m a Jamaican and Gatlin has always been our favorite athlete in my household. In fact, my daughters and my friends I mean all of us was Gatlin fans out of the few Americans. We liked Tyson Gay too
I appreciate these two gentlemen so much. Their opinions and analyses are clear, informed and unbiased. I also have to say that Justin seems to be a very warm-hearted human being and I like him a lot now.😊
@@dorrettfielding8181 He’s an Aquarius just like me. Very fair in judgement. Don’t sugar coat and I can see the humanitarian side of him coming out. Not many people can see that but he’s a humanitarian 🇯🇲
It was a beautiful moment for our country, you can imagine the celebration for a 2m+ country. Our country is definitely a miraculous story. So thank you so much for your kind words towards Tebogo, we appreciate it as a country ❤ will definitely send the videos. Thank you again ❤
Wait a damn minute: Lestlie and Kenny also ran the full 100m including the rounds! And both of them beat Noah in the 200m final. They too went thru the rounds for both events. So why are y’all making excuses for Noah? Plus, Tebogo did 3 events!! He also did the 4x4 relays!! Including leading Botswana to a silver medal!! In total, he brought 5 (1 Gold and 4 Silvers) medals to Botswana!!
@@pietroghezzi3281COVID my a$$. Let's say he did, that would make him a selfish prick to potentially place others at risk, based on what the "authorities" claimed for the past 4 yrs. I've lost respect for Lyles. He is only about himself.
@@pietroghezzi3281no he didn't have COVID, even without it that young Tebogo was still going to smoke him. He talks too much crap instead of doing those theatrics in the race.
@@pietroghezzi3281LIES/ MAAKA/LESHANO, that was jyst an excuse, had he won he would be all over the place , stop covering for Noah, just accept that he lost. !!!!!!!!Jumping like a Kangaroo before the race!!!!!!!!!!! then after race he tested positive!!!!!!!!!!!, taken out with wheelchair! !!!!!!!!!!!!hours later he was caught partying!! Come on guys we were not born yesterday please.
Justin, My Man!! I am Jamaican, I am always naturally routing for Jamaica, but Bro you were always my favorite sprinter to watch. The intensity you had when you ran, man I was like I need to do more with my life..LOL. I always describe your running style as "Controlled Chaos", you ran that thang like it was your last race every time.......what a pleasure to watch you run. All the Best.
Fun facts about Letsile’s names and their meanings. Letsile means “it has arrived/arrival” usually for something that starts with an L. I am not sure what the person who named him was referencing but it makes sense to me that maybe it was either sun(sunshine), luck, light or the day he was born, and sun and day in Setswana directly translate to Letsatsi. Light is lesedi, and luck is lesego. So to say the sun (sunlight/sunrise) or day has come, you would say Letsatsi le tsile. And for light - lesedi le tsile, luck lesego le tsile. Tebogo means thanks/thankful. His full name literally means arrival of thanks. Either way as a nation, we Batswana are thankful for the day he was born, 8/8/24- the day he medaled, the light and luck he bring to the country. Tebogo day has a nice ring to it. It would be the day our country celebrates his victory, thanks him and be thankful for all we have achieved. His win truly meant a lot. I have always sang our national anthem at events. But the meaning behind it really hit home after his win. I can’t remember being so emotional and proud singing it as I watched him on that podium.
Letsile Tebogo o re tsamaetse tota! 🇧🇼🇧🇼 As a Motswana in the diaspora, this win meant so much to me! On the day of the celebrations, our happiness as a nation was so contagious and electric that I could feel every trace of it while being thousands of miles away from my country. "Fatshe leno la rona ke mpho ya Modimo." 🎶 Modimo re a go leboga! ❤️
What's that supposed to mean? Tobagot never ran that fast until he just did. Noah still ran 19.7 with covid. And Kenny B ran 19.59 and he hadn't beat Noah all season
@@animedebo8183 Tebogo is young and his time was always likely to improve and Lyles is already at his peak. Lyles was going to need to produce one of his best times to win that race, tebogo celebrated before finish line.. And he is only ran faster than that time once
@@animedebo8183Tebogo has run a 19.50 against a 19.46 of noah before so it’s not like that time was never in him, he just brought it out when it counted most and ultimately that’s what being a champion is all about.
Thank you for backing up our Tebogo and our nation Botswana,it's wa amazing to see first the time our Botswana shine in the Olympics..it's out of this world 🌍..thanks Glatin,very sightful n mature of you guys..love u from Botswana being happy us..❤❤
Noah had Covid on a Tuesday and was partying and fully cured by Friday… boy please! He talked a big game, knew he’d lose and leaned on his ‘’health’’ as a crutch to get out of having to do interviews the day of, the press conference the night of and having to answer for his arrogance as the loser. He should have man’d up and took that lose with grace.
The original Covid 19 of 2019 is maybe 50 times more potent than Covid 19 of 2024. The current Covid has morph into the similarity effects of an ordinary cold - very mild compared to original Covid 19. Even .The reason he was clear 2 days later and could party hard. His boastful ass was kicked real hard by Tebogo.
@@iq1525 you call that a win....when you need litterally a camera/computer to decide.....i don't call that a win....the olympics could have called kishane the winner and we would have accepted it as fact.....
He had Covid before that. His became symptomatic during the semifinals. Covid has up to 14 day incubation period. I really wish the general population was smarter. Because this notion of him getting better in 2 days as if when he tested positive was the day he was exposed.
The 100m and 200m men's field was so stacked. Noah could only win one gold and Tebogo the other. Congrats to Kishane, Fred Kerly, and Kenny for being Olympic medalist in these events.
Noah blew his load in the 100m. Noah knew he was in trouble in the semi of that 200m. If we would have known Tobego was running 400’s like that it was a def lost in the finals. Noah is in trouble this dude is not scared of him. Can’t wait to see the 200 again.
Even Bolt didnt run at 100% his 200m But his 100m was too good that he could run 200m and win everyday. Asafa said it: 200m WR is easier to break, Bolt could run 18.90s but he focused on the 100m
Asafa is not wrong. All the previous 200 m records have been faster than the current 100 m record times two. This is currently the first instance where the 200 m record is slower than 2x100 m. Bolt himself apparently had an eye out for the 19 s barrier after that, but to no avail.
I think the main issue was they didn't get a day of rest in between as they usually do. It's why some athletes pulled out of the 100 to focus on the 200 or vice versa.
Yup that gatlin dude trying hard to give excuses for noah. Not surprised the athlete who got bailed out by his association with the holier than thou attitude.
Are we forgetting that Letsile Tebogo has been training to PR in the 200m since start of the season. From running back to back 400m to 4x4s to 300m. He was the clear winner from the very beginning
@@jrv7054 he's been the one talking so for all that talking he should be way more consistent with getting closer to that time. The further it takes for him to get close to that time, the further away he gets from approaching it again.
Uhm no Noah did run 19.47 but since he ran that 19.31 ppl think he's that runner but in reality he's a 19.5 runner an most of todays sprinters from 2019-23 couldn't touch 19.5 which what made Noah special but now we have a legit 19.4-5 runner tebego which I can see go 19.2-3 will beat him almost all the time in the future considering that Noah is gonna be 31 next Olympics
Noah gets faster in 100 and slower in 200m, I don’t think so!!! First match up post Olympics going to and we a lot and my money on Noah and the Letselie was talking tough so I hope he keeps same energy. I’m proud of what Tobogo did for his mom but he corny for taking shots at Noah personally as where you like Noah or not he keeps on track
Don’t jump to conclusion over just one 19.49 performance tebogo still needs to prove his consistency running those times like noah has done over multiple races before you can confidently say he can regularly challenge a healthy noah. That being sad i’m backing him over any other athlete to bring the fight to Noah. 200m just got interesting.
I can't believe that now the standard argument is "Noah wasn't going to win". Consider that: 1. Noah ran the fastest Olympic trial 200m in his career in 2024, and 2. his Olympic trial times correlate with how much he improved in the respective year final (Olympic or World Championship). Tebogo might have still won, sure: but it is inevitable that the peaking schedule designed by Lyle's coach was aiming for 19.30 or lower in the 200m final - even accounting for the win in the 100m. It's not like sponsors dumped millions on Lyles expecting his potential was to run another ~19.5 in the Olympic final.
You know with all these different channels and host it really makes the Olympics unenjoyable, a platform for people to take digs at the Athletes, and reminisce about the days of old,now anyone can be important .
I truly think the Covid affected him. We seem to forget he’s severely asthmatic which, as someone who’s dealt with long Covid, can make you EXTREMELY weak, really quickly. Congrats to Letsile, he was the better man that day, bit Covid free lyles would’ve put up more of a fight
This issue is that Noah went partying 2 days later without a mask prior to him announcing he had Covid which is why everyone is on his case about it and raising suspicions.
@@flipewright7325fastest man in the world and he got whooped in his best race,tied with Kishane in the 100 and still not have the fastest PB. Fastest my arse
I dont understand why so many people hate Noah, he is exiting, he is a showman, he elevates the sport, he sells, take it for what it is. You know who else in history did that? Ali
Congrats to Tebogo, he is a natural sprinter. He runs like a rotary engine, which is very smooth. Everyone else runs like a piston engine. Usain Bolt is the king of all piston engine. Tebogo should be able to break the WR in 200m and 400m as long as he does not slow down before the race end.
Mmm… Huge respect to Tobogo. He showed just how good he is and he was celebrating before the line. Yet a healthy Noah vs Tebogo would have been something.
@@256NoahDon’t forget he is 27 years old and he is much younger,but you’re right he has won more;however,if you have been watching the Diamond League and other athletics events,he performing well,so as much I love Noah Lyles- Letsile Tebogo is on the periphery.
Definitely was an exciting 200m. I'm surprised Noah kept it as competitive as he did. Congrats to Noah, Kenny, and Tebogo. Double congrats to Tebogo for getting that gold.
I was just telling my homeboi this yesterday!!! Noah Lyles was not going to win even if he was healthy/Covid free period. I'm glad I got confirmation.😅
the president announced 2 half a day to work for us when Letsile arrived. And a lot of companies and businesses offered so much for him cause we want him to succeed way beyond just athletics but in business and farming as well.
I can see why this channel is growing. Great production, solid commentary… and the deference to the Caribbean and now the dark continent. No disrespect but… any shot they want to take on Noah, they’ll take. While bigging up everyone else. It’s a solid formula. Noah just beat Letsile in a final the year before and it wasn’t close. Letsile didn’t have a mental edge on him in a big spot. Now the narrative is, that Noah couldn’t have won regardless. Just pour in those brothas from the Caribbean, they’ll be subscribing soon.
Give credit where credit is due. NIEL IS A HELL OF AN ATHLETH. A SICK MAN RUNNING AT HIS SPEED IS AMAZING! THERE ARE NO LOOSERS. CONGRATS TO TOBOGO. He has the fire
If noah never ran 19.31 his sec fast time is 19.46 an if we compare them both tebegos def look better an noah ran through the line ppl dont understand how hard it is too even go 19-3 nevertheless 19.4
Man man man Tebogo was elite in that 200 he was moving Noah woulda needed his best stuff there and the way he beat Kenny too the way he did That was special
We really don't know if he would have won. Having covid makes you weaker even if it doesn't hit you very hard, but at the same time we don't know if he would have been able to run faster than Tebogo. It'd be great if both of them run against each other this season again
How about "Olympic Glory Day". Don't forget that they went from never nothing to coming home with 2 medals: 1 gold with a new African record (amazing!) and one fabulous close silver in the 4x400m.
If we're inviting the conversion of a healthy Lyles still losing to Tebogo, for someone following Lyles progress for the past yeast and change, it kinda sucks to not know what time he could have run when all signs were pointing to him doing something special. Call it selfish of me, but regardless of your personal feelings of Lyles, i think we could all hope that any of these athletes are going to be at their best at the biggest stage and i don't think we got to see that with Lyles in the 200. But hey, hats off to Tebogo and I'm really looking forward to seeing these guys match up again soon 👍
Lol. People coming out with a boatload of excuses for noah losing. Being tired and managing tight schedules is a part of sports. Athletes need to learn how to manage that. Tebogo ran the 100m, 200m and 400m relays being far more impressive.
@11hitmanDagenius lol, like i said, maybe it's selfish, but for over a year, i was excited to see what time Lyles could drop in the 200 in the Olympics knowing what his form was looking like. I'm super happy for Tebogo, but the Olympics only comes around every 4 years. Hope we get some good showdowns between them. It's good for the sport after all.
This was one of two important races in the Paris Olys, that I predicted correctly. (1) After watching Hocker in the US trials, I was sanguine he would take the 1500 m in Paris. (2) In the 200 m, I had the three medalists in the right order. Tebogo was a reasoned choice for gold, Bednarek a fond hope for the silver. I have followed track seriously since 1960, and do not recall a really top level sprinter who pranced and posed as much as Lyles. Starting with Hary and Berutti up to the stars of today, including my two all-time 100 m greats, Bolt and Hayes. When today's crop of sprinters remotely approach 9.58 sec. for 100 m, the time will perhaps be ripe for "boasting".
Make your mind up. Either 19.46 is better than Lyles' 19.31 or isn't not. The interviewer acknowledged that Noah was not health and still ran a 19.70. What do you think he runs if he is health? .Noah was the double world champion at the 100m and 200m in entering the Olympics. How is he not the clear favorite in the 200m if health?
You need to watch what we did for him. The day he came back home there was another holiday. The videos are everywhere we done filled the stadium and did a welcome home party
Shout out Gat! The guy with beard didn't have Noah winning the 100 but we seen what happen. COVID19 zapps your energy however Noah still got 3rd place. If you believe that Noah didn't have COVID19 then you have a personal reason why you will always be against Noah.
Gatlin is a class act 🎬 👏🏿,I will always admire his heart and tenacity in which he chased the fastest man that ever lived for years,and didn't stop until he beat him. God bless you and God bless the young man and his mothers soul he ran a great race. Noah had a great Olympics God bless him as well, wonderful content guys bless you all. 🙏🏾
Gatlin has really aged well, in physique and personality... you can tell he is genuinely enjoying himself, and happy for the youngings

If Tobogo, is that good, why hadn't he ever beaten Noah before?
Teboga ran 7 rounds and then dropped a 43.04 400m split. Dude is something else.
Imagine a 400 split slower than the world record 😢 whist asafa split 8.7 in 100m relay

Something that shocks me. The only people who pronounce the name correctly outside of Africa probably.
I told my son the day before the race, Tebogo was going to win. I saw his face in the 100m and just saw the determination. Way to go 🎉

Fun facts about Letsile’s names and their meanings.
Letsile means “it has arrived/arrival” usually for something that starts with an L. I am not sure what the person who named him was referencing but it makes sense to me that maybe it was either sun(sunshine), luck, light or the day he was born, and sun and day in Setswana directly translate to Letsatsi. Light is lesedi, and luck is lesego. So to say the sun (sunlight/sunrise) or day has come, you would say Letsatsi le tsile. And for light - lesedi le tsile, luck lesego le tsile.
Tebogo means thanks/thankful.
His full name literally means arrival of thanks.
Either way as a nation, we Batswana are thankful for the day he was born, 8/8/24- the day he medaled, the light and luck he bring to the country.
Tebogo day has a nice ring to it. It would be the day our country celebrates his victory, thanks him and be thankful for all we have achieved.

Tebogo ran the 100m, 200m, and 4 x 400m. He showed up for his team. The young man is built different and very special.
Gatlin - Remember that Noah was not the only athlete whose body was taxed; Tebogo and Bednarick both ran all the rounds for the 100m

Botswana went absolutely crazy when that gold was won! (Im from Botswana 🇧🇼)
And we shouted for him in South Africa,i had tears in my eyes.
There was a race last year I think. Noah won, Tebogo 2nd in 19.5, but Tebogo closed down Noah. 1st time I saw someone close in on Noah
London Diamond League. Agreed - LT was closing in fast!

Love your podcast Justin
I wanna see Tebogo run sub 43. If he ever focuses on the 400m.
KING TEBOGO! NIGERIA LOVES YOU❤❤❤
The 100m took it out of him. Simple as that. Doesn't have Bolt's capacity to run his best at both at the same time.
Even Bolt didnt run at 100% his 200m
But his 100m was too good that he could run 200m and win everyday.
Asafa said it: 200m WR is easier to break, Bolt could run 18.90s but he focused on the 100m
personally i still have some belief that a healthy lyles would’ve put up more of a fight, seeing the improvements he’s made this season
No he only did run his best on the day and broke his own records more than once
Asafa is not wrong. All the previous 200 m records have been faster than the current 100 m record times two. This is currently the first instance where the 200 m record is slower than 2x100 m. Bolt himself apparently had an eye out for the 19 s barrier after that, but to no avail.

19.46 with some showboating in the last 20 metres. He could go faster, if anyone wanted to run him down. Tebogo wins that race all day!
Thanks for at least focusing on TeBogo and giving him his props, but no excuses for Noah, no other injured or sick athletes made excuses

@@jrv7054when was the last time he came close?
@Eddybo22 it's only 2 years ago, if it was like 4 years plus then I'm delusional. He also ran a similar time to tebogo last year right?
@@jrv7054 he's been the one talking so for all that talking he should be way more consistent with getting closer to that time. The further it takes for him to get close to that time, the further away he gets from approaching it again.
Congrats to Tobago doing this on behalf of his mom. What an inspiration!
Tebogo day I enjoyed it my boy made us proud 🥲❤ 🇧🇼
Noah improved in the 100 and decreased in the 200, as simple as that
Uhm no Noah did run 19.47 but since he ran that 19.31 ppl think he's that runner but in reality he's a 19.5 runner an most of todays sprinters from 2019-23 couldn't touch 19.5 which what made Noah special but now we have a legit 19.4-5 runner tebego which I can see go 19.2-3 will beat him almost all the time in the future considering that Noah is gonna be 31 next Olympics
@@JayJordan-vy9jj Noah is a 19.3 runner. Idk what you're smoking
@@Astro2024 he is not. At best high 19.4x
Noah gets faster in 100 and slower in 200m, I don’t think so!!! First match up post Olympics going to and we a lot and my money on Noah and the Letselie was talking tough so I hope he keeps same energy. I’m proud of what Tobogo did for his mom but he corny for taking shots at Noah personally as where you like Noah or not he keeps on track
Don’t jump to conclusion over just one 19.49 performance tebogo still needs to prove his consistency running those times like noah has done over multiple races before you can confidently say he can regularly challenge a healthy noah. That being sad i’m backing him over any other athlete to bring the fight to Noah. 200m just got interesting.
Thank you for loving us. ❤ from Botswana 🇧🇼
I can't believe that now the standard argument is "Noah wasn't going to win". Consider that:
1. Noah ran the fastest Olympic trial 200m in his career in 2024, and 2. his Olympic trial times correlate with how much he improved in the respective year final (Olympic or World Championship).
Tebogo might have still won, sure: but it is inevitable that the peaking schedule designed by Lyle's coach was aiming for 19.30 or lower in the 200m final - even accounting for the win in the 100m. It's not like sponsors dumped millions on Lyles expecting his potential was to run another ~19.5 in the Olympic final.
You know with all these different channels and host it really makes the Olympics unenjoyable, a platform for people to take digs at the Athletes, and reminisce about the days of old,now anyone can be important .
Bless up justin love from Jamaica ❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲
I truly think the Covid affected him. We seem to forget he’s severely asthmatic which, as someone who’s dealt with long Covid, can make you EXTREMELY weak, really quickly. Congrats to Letsile, he was the better man that day, bit Covid free lyles would’ve put up more of a fight
This issue is that Noah went partying 2 days later without a mask prior to him announcing he had Covid which is why everyone is on his case about it and raising suspicions.
Facts 😂❤ Noah got clearly smoked by Tebogo
He’s still the fastest man in the world everybody lose sometimes he ran 19.7 clearly he was sick
19.5-7 is his go now
Troll
Fair and square
@@flipewright7325fastest man in the world and he got whooped in his best race,tied with Kishane in the 100 and still not have the fastest PB. Fastest my arse
Much respect Gatlin, peace and love!!!!
Tebogo ran the 100m as well, so both men faced the same situation.
I dont understand why so many people hate Noah, he is exiting, he is a showman, he elevates the sport, he sells, take it for what it is. You know who else in history did that? Ali
Be Humble and the sucess Will follow you!I reapet be humble and the sucess Will follow you.
Well Done! I think that a lot of people like this kind of analysis about being faster!!
The way Justin describes running man, it’s like did I really watch the race or what
I appreciate Justin trying to say Letsile’s surname correctly. (It is Te-bo - ho). ☺️
Thanks for pointing it out
Actually Te-bo-go is his name, Letsile is the surname.
@@hoseam4537 ahhhh. That’s interesting. I wonder why he goes by Tebogo as his surname then?🤔
@@hoseam4537 it's the other way round
His name is Letsile
Surname Tebogo
His late mother's name is Seratiwa Tebogo
Congrats to Tebogo, he is a natural sprinter. He runs like a rotary engine, which is very smooth. Everyone else runs like a piston engine. Usain Bolt is the king of all piston engine. Tebogo should be able to break the WR in 200m and 400m as long as he does not slow down before the race end.
explain the difference
This comment section is heartbreaking. Casuals truly know nothing of the sport all these years later
Mmm… Huge respect to Tobogo. He showed just how good he is and he was celebrating before the line.
Yet a healthy Noah vs Tebogo would have been something.
Boy got CHOKED on some 🇧🇼🇧🇼 dust...
Eish mfethu straight from Kanye with gosiame 💨 💨💨💨🇧🇼🏃🏾♂️➡️
Lyles still has a winning record against him
@@256NoahDon’t forget he is 27 years old and he is much younger,but you’re right he has won more;however,if you have been watching the Diamond League and other athletics events,he performing well,so as much I love Noah Lyles- Letsile Tebogo is on the periphery.
Noah fans trying to give excuses. No one gives a shit about winning record. Noah got toasted like a big in the 200m.
Man I wanna say I ran track & field in high school and every track meet I ran 4 events which were the open 100m,open 200m and the 4x1 and 4x2..
Since I get to see Justin more and more I respect him big up yuself Justin ❤
Definitely was an exciting 200m. I'm surprised Noah kept it as competitive as he did. Congrats to Noah, Kenny, and Tebogo. Double congrats to Tebogo for getting that gold.
You guys pronounced his name so well welldone fellas Tebogo has that TURBO & HE DEFINITELY GOES
I was just telling my homeboi this yesterday!!! Noah Lyles was not going to win even if he was healthy/Covid free period. I'm glad I got confirmation.😅
the president announced 2 half a day to work for us when Letsile arrived. And a lot of companies and businesses offered so much for him cause we want him to succeed way beyond just athletics but in business and farming as well.
I can see why this channel is growing. Great production, solid commentary… and the deference to the Caribbean and now the dark continent. No disrespect but… any shot they want to take on Noah, they’ll take. While bigging up everyone else. It’s a solid formula. Noah just beat Letsile in a final the year before and it wasn’t close. Letsile didn’t have a mental edge on him in a big spot. Now the narrative is, that Noah couldn’t have won regardless. Just pour in those brothas from the Caribbean, they’ll be subscribing soon.
I love your professionalism and learning to pronounce letsile’s last name correctly.Tebogo pronounced “teboho”. Salute ❤
Not only the first 200m gold medal for Botswana but also the first African 200m Gold medal for Africa
Usain and Elaine have everyone thinking the double is easy.
**Spoilers**
It's not.
No it's not. That's why I'm sad that Elaine is not as appreciated as shacarri and shelly
Lyles has already doubled
@@256Noah Not in the Olympics, no
@@mab0738 ok and?
@@256Noah And he hasn't win it in the Olympics ad that's the context of this topic
Noah competition is here..he better be ready ..
he'll get used to silver or bronze...shouldn't be close. Once tebogo has learned how to beat him he will do it again and again.
RSG for life! Took you guys long enough :)
Probably 19.50 - 19.55 got silver medal. Tebogo 19.46 is unexpected and insane
Give credit where credit is due. NIEL IS A HELL OF AN ATHLETH. A SICK MAN RUNNING AT HIS SPEED IS AMAZING! THERE ARE NO LOOSERS. CONGRATS TO TOBOGO. He has the fire
Shout out from Botswana 🇧🇼Mr Gatlin and Mr Green
If noah never ran 19.31 his sec fast time is 19.46 an if we compare them both tebegos def look better an noah ran through the line ppl dont understand how hard it is too even go 19-3 nevertheless 19.4
He had to pull on everything to match up with Kishane...simple facts.
Thank you! This is why this podcast is #1
Iam your fan Justin from Botswana iam so proud
Gatlin pronouncing Tebogo name right is good but i was blown away when he said "for Batswana" wow🔥🔥🔥👌
Tebogo means “Offering of Thanks”. FYI. Love the fellowship ❤ that you present. Positive and wholesome.
lyels has two olimpic medals. nothing to add. he is a champion
as a Namibian, i am proud of our southern African brother. SADC
There's no way that any of you guys can actually know that you run what your competition
Man man man Tebogo was elite in that 200 he was moving
Noah woulda needed his best stuff there and the way he beat Kenny too the way he did
That was special
This convo was fun 😂
Y’all on the BANDWAGON HARD🤣
We really don't know if he would have won. Having covid makes you weaker even if it doesn't hit you very hard, but at the same time we don't know if he would have been able to run faster than Tebogo. It'd be great if both of them run against each other this season again
This is why bolt is bolt...
Triple triple
How about "Olympic Glory Day". Don't forget that they went from never nothing to coming home with 2 medals: 1 gold with a new African record (amazing!) and one fabulous close silver in the 4x400m.
Love listening to gatlin
Both are great analysts.they know what they are saying...im a fan now
Love your honesty, i respect the unbiassed opinion.
Tebogo translates to Grateful. Botswana is grateful for this gem! Rea Leboga 😊
If we're inviting the conversion of a healthy Lyles still losing to Tebogo, for someone following Lyles progress for the past yeast and change, it kinda sucks to not know what time he could have run when all signs were pointing to him doing something special. Call it selfish of me, but regardless of your personal feelings of Lyles, i think we could all hope that any of these athletes are going to be at their best at the biggest stage and i don't think we got to see that with Lyles in the 200. But hey, hats off to Tebogo and I'm really looking forward to seeing these guys match up again soon 👍
I’ll bet my hat Lyles smokes him in the next meet. Win lose or draw, ima come back to this comment😊
@mrtesseract99 with Michael Johnson's Grand Slam Track league starting soon, i bet we're gonna see this matchup a ton 😃
Lol. People coming out with a boatload of excuses for noah losing. Being tired and managing tight schedules is a part of sports. Athletes need to learn how to manage that. Tebogo ran the 100m, 200m and 400m relays being far more impressive.
@11hitmanDagenius lol, like i said, maybe it's selfish, but for over a year, i was excited to see what time Lyles could drop in the 200 in the Olympics knowing what his form was looking like. I'm super happy for Tebogo, but the Olympics only comes around every 4 years. Hope we get some good showdowns between them. It's good for the sport after all.
THANK YOU! 19.46 is insane and its hard for even a Noah to do it lol
Tebogo beat him so bad, he started practicing for dancing with the stars!
This was one of two important races in the Paris Olys, that I predicted correctly. (1) After watching Hocker in the US trials, I was sanguine he would take the 1500 m in Paris. (2) In the 200 m, I had the three medalists in the right order. Tebogo was a reasoned choice for gold, Bednarek a fond hope for the silver. I have followed track seriously since 1960, and do not recall a really top level sprinter who pranced and posed as much as Lyles. Starting with Hary and Berutti up to the stars of today, including my two all-time 100 m greats, Bolt and Hayes. When today's crop of sprinters remotely approach 9.58 sec. for 100 m, the time will perhaps be ripe for "boasting".
Make your mind up. Either 19.46 is better than Lyles' 19.31 or isn't not. The interviewer acknowledged that Noah was not health and still ran a 19.70. What do you think he runs if he is health? .Noah was the double world champion at the 100m and 200m in entering the Olympics. How is he not the clear favorite in the 200m if health?
Being healthy is part of the game. No excuses
You need to watch what we did for him. The day he came back home there was another holiday. The videos are everywhere we done filled the stadium and did a welcome home party
Shout out Gat! The guy with beard didn't have Noah winning the 100 but we seen what happen. COVID19 zapps your energy however Noah still got 3rd place. If you believe that Noah didn't have COVID19 then you have a personal reason why you will always be against Noah.
Gatlin is a class act 🎬 👏🏿,I will always admire his heart and tenacity in which he chased the fastest man that ever lived for years,and didn't stop until he beat him. God bless you and God bless the young man and his mothers soul he ran a great race. Noah had a great Olympics God bless him as well, wonderful content guys bless you all. 🙏🏾
Not gonna lie, in my opinion Noah having covid is all 🧢🧢🧢
yup he then tweeted that he was covid free, 12 hours after the race... rate he knew he couldn't win
Now I'm hearing he ran with a 102 temperature.....at worst I'd say he was asymptomatic, didn't know he had it.
I don't know about that both Team US track and field USA and french official confirmed he had covid....
