Q&A: Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo on his Olympic triumph; African sprinters

Tebogo celebrated his first Olympic gold since 1946 by winning the 200m at Doha, breaking records for both him and his nation. A former football star who switched to athletics at 13 due to his teachers' encouragement, Tebogo became the first African sprinter to win an Olympic medal, sparking hope for others on the continent. Now a motivational figure, he inspires younger athletes while his home country works to invest in its sprinters beyond traditional strengths like distance running.
