Paris 2024: Botswana's Tebogo wins gold in 200m final
Botswana's Letsile Tebogo caused a shock on Thursday when he won gold in the 200m final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The 21-year-old won gold in the 200m, denying Noah Railesa a double in the sprint events at the same tournament.
Tebogo also set an African record of 19.46 seconds.
Kenneth Bednarek of the United States finished in 19.62 seconds to take second place.
Lyles, who became the fastest man in the world by half a second in Sunday night's 100m final, clocked 19.70 seconds, the same time that earned him his bronze medal in Tokyo.
After the race, Lyles tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the 27-year-old to leave the course in a wheelchair.
