Letsile Tebogo made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics by recording a 43.03-second split in the men’s 4x400m relay, the fastest ever by any man at the Olympics and the second-fastest in history, just behind Michael Johnson’s 42.94-second split from 1993. Despite not being a specialist in the 400m, Tebogo’s inclusion in Botswana’s relay team was a strategic move that paid off immensely, showcasing his versatility and commitment to his team.
Tebogo’s performance has not only solidified his place as one of the brightest stars in track and field but also brought pride and inspiration to Botswana and the broader athletic community. His achievement highlights the potential of athletes who push beyond their comfort zones, setting new standards and redefining expectations on the world stage.
