MANCHESTER - Botswana's Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo said he and Noah Lyles have a friendly relationship, clarifying remarks he made about his American rival being "arrogant" after beating him to gold in the 200 metres at the 2024 Paris Games.
Tebogo, who captured Botswana's first Olympic title, raised eyebrows in his post-race press conference when he said he could not be the face of athletics because he was not "an arrogant or loud person like Noah", who embraces being a showman.
"When you get onto the track, it's all about business," Tebogo said in a video call on April 2. "(But) when we finish, you can be friends, life goes on.
"But the 'arrogance'... he's good to sell our sport. But with me, I'll always shy away from doing that because that's me."
