I need to be there for her'- Letsile Tebogo reveals main reason he is

Letsile Tebogo had a remarkable 2024 season, winning the Olympic 200m and several Diamond League races, and now looks forward to going back home after a long, emotional year.

Letsile Tebogo has undoubtedly enjoyed an amazing 2024 season, from setting a new world record in the 300 meters start of the season to finishing the season second in the men’s 200m at the Diamond League Meeting final in Brussels.

After closing the season in Brussels, the reigning Olympic 200m champion expressed his psyche to go back home and spend time with his little sister, Ano Tebogo. He explained that his sister, who is nine years younger than him, will be sitting for her exams and he has to be there for her.

Letsile Tebogo also explained that the season has been long and he did not have time to stay at home after the Olympic Games since he had a series of Diamond League Meetings lined up for him in Europe.

“I can’t wait to get home and spend time with my little sister and just help her get through because it’s her exam year, so I need to be there for her to get everything up and rolling,” Letsile Tebogo told Sports Passion.

“I only spent five days at home and finally I’m done with the season and there’s nothing keeping me in Europe except maybe coming to watch a few games and I can’t wait to get home so tomorrow morning I’ll take my flight,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Motswana wunderkind has been an epitome of strength, thanks to his wins and crazy times amid the mourning of his late mother, Seratiwa Tebogo.

Letsile Tebogo lost his mother earlier this season as he was competing at the USATF Los Angeles Grand Prix in May and took a short break before making a comeback to the track in June. He built up for the Olympics by competing in a series of races.

At the Olympic Games, the 21-year-old failed to impress in the men’s 100m final but bounced back to claim victory in the men’s 200m final, beating Kenny Bednarek and Noah Lyles to second and third places respectively.

Letsile Tebogo continued the winning streak to the men’s 4x400m relay where he anchored Team Botswana to a silver medal. He did not end his season as he went on to claim victory in a series of Diamond League Meetings including Lausanne, Silesia, Rome, and Zurich.
