He achieved success at the 2024 Paris Games, winning gold in the 200m and silver in the 4x400m relay. Tebogo defeated American favorite Noah Lyles in the 200-meter event. The Botswana sprinter recorded a time of 19 minutes 46 seconds, while Bednarek and Lyles took second and third place with times of 19 minutes 62 seconds and 19 minutes 70 seconds, respectively.
Months after competing in the Olympics and other major events, Tebogo was seen honing his skills ahead of the 2025 season.

He wrote a funny caption indicating that his coach Kebonyemodisa Dose Mosimanyane won the session.
Tebogo shared the photo on Instagram and added:
“Dozeman 1-0 Let’s Man”
Tebogo’s impressive performance in the French capital was praised in December when he was announced as World Athletics’ World Men’s Athlete of the Year.
“Let the legs do the talking” – Lesile Tebogo on his approach to competition
In November 2024, Lesile Tebogo revealed his approach to competing in the event. He acknowledged that athletes have different personalities, with some outspoken and active, while others are more reserved and quiet.
Additionally, he expressed a preference for humility and focus over attention-seeking behavior, preferring to remain silent and let his performance do the talking rather than attracting attention with words or bold actions.
“All athletes are different. Some are loud, some are quiet, so I prefer to be quiet and let my feet do the talking,” Tebogo said. I’ve always been a modest person, so athletics hasn’t changed who I am. ”
He added:
“So I believe silence is the way.”
In addition to winning the gold medal in the 200 meters, she led the national team to a silver medal in the 4×400 meter relay with her anchor leg running. Tebogo also competed in the 100 meters, finishing sixth with a time of 9.86 seconds, a new national record.
