Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo won Olympic gold in the men’s 200m on Thursday, upsetting Americans Noah Lyles and Kenneth Bednarek.
The result earned Africa its first-ever gold medal in the 200m event at the Games.
Lyles, the 100m champion in Paris, settled for bronze, while Bednarek matched the silver he earned in the event at 2020 Tokyo. Lyles received a yellow card for improper conduct in the race after making a high-energy entrance into the stadium.
