@Iamsospecial1

Botswana 🇧🇼 is taking over

@guygmannthite2628

Letsile bro you are smart🙏🏽🙌🏽

@tiroyaonemasilo2564

As a Motswana, I believe Tebogo intended to say that Noah was overconfident. He may not have fully understood the meaning of the word "arrogant," which is why he used phrases like "loud, arrogant" and seemed uncertain if he had expressed himself correctly. For example, Noah was jumping and running around before the race, wasting energy when he should have been focused since he hadn't won yet. In Botswana, English is our second language, and we learn it in school. Tebogo is still young and expanding his vocabulary. Social media often amplifies the negative, but in reality, Letsile is a humble young man who respects everyone. People on social media shouldn't rush to conclusions. We all come from different backgrounds, and if Tebogo had expressed himself in his native language, the meaning might have been different.

Taboo is a hypocrite. For those of us who have watched him, he is cocky DURING races. Noah is a showman but, like Mayweather, he has been all business during the race. Taboo looks at other runners, makes motions, and does other cocky things DURING the races. I really like him, but this response was not called for. The interviewer asksd him about himself – Taboo took the opportunity to take a shot at a guy who was not part of the question asked.

😂😂😂😂❤❤ Ola bafethu maan..go going Champion 🏆

@OlieBarnes

He used 5min of fame to disparage a fellow Olympian. Noah is the face of the sport because of his energy and personality. He has lucrative contracts because he lives in a country where people by firsthand items and products. You know how hard it is to buy certain things on the continent and market it.. They sell water in plastic/rubber bags.

This guy statements were unwise…. Now his country is taking donations to award him.. He'll be forgotten in 2 weeks…………………..Sadly, Africans don't see the harm in what he says and that's fine. People hate to admit but that's why we lead the way in almost everything……………….. Where yous are still trying to figure out what's appropriate

@VanessaSharratt

Why do American journalists only ask questions of the American athletes? There is a gold medal winner right there – DUH

@britomunjanja3732

This guy from Botswana sounds down to earth, he seems humble…wen look at his face i feel the same way i wish f my mom ws alive to see my achievement…. congratulations bro

@kerrytodd3753

That’s a lie, Lyles is a liar…..couldn’t handle defeat in “his” race. He lost it with the entrance…….

@mvualabouderbuder9083

MY BROTHER REMAIN ANOINTED AND YET VERY HUMBLE JUST AS YOUR MUM “SERATIWA Sthando-same” WOULD HAVE WANTED FOR YOU.

You’re making Africa proud & you made Botswana🇧🇼 extremely proud and I your brother from ANGOLA🇦🇴 can only say : Ke a leboga🙏🏿

Re motlotlo thata ka wena Lestile ka go nna boikokobetso tata le morago ga go tlisa gouta ya Olympic kwa 🇧🇼

@Jj-ty7qh

I think Tebogo needs better management and advisers before he unintentionally creates enemies. They should either insist on him speaking with a translator or advise him better on politeness in the English language. I think some of this is lost I’m translation. I don’t think Tebogo meant what he said in a bad way. His English isn’t as sophisticated or refined for him to be able to express in a more polite manner and better. Or keep him away from the media. He is going to create enemies for no reason.

@margaretwapasa9651

africa is so proud of you guys

@tshepomak2054

Tebogo answered well

@eminix2132

@immanuelejembi2995

Who is this journalist that asked a very careless and uniformed question to tebogo ? Was it hate or real ignorance of just being heard to had made a comment?

Well done and huge congratulations our Champion

@benmerci1

Am I the only one that doesn’t think was a crazy opening question?

@plumeria66

And Kenneth the guy sitting next to him doesn’t disagree.

I like Tebogo’s accent very satisfying

@kinseybruno5920

American media sucks. Lyles is annoying and cringe. Covid crybaby, I guess he didn’t bring enough yugioh playing cards to protect him from being “sick”. Way to go Tebogo.

Noah is bit loud 😅😅😅😅😅

@an9513

His accent is powerful

@moulyman

As a Jamican I like Kung Fu Kenny. Congratulations Mr. Tobago and Mr. Kung fu

@bajanenergy5020

He could have had the sniffles he would have lost

@ninobrown5363

Noah not coming to the Press Conference was Cowardly and Wack!
And him acting all tired after the Race was all a Act…smh
I lost respect for that dude. Man Up and Talk to The Press After a Loss Brotha!

@YourXLNerd

I find it crazy that the Chinese Communist Party reporters are asking ethical questions about one of the athletes in an attempt to make the US look bad. Coming from one of the least ethical countries in the world. Instead of giving the athletes the glory they deserve these reporters play backhanded passive aggressive war games.. pathetic.
