Yea, nobody can sleep on Tebogo, he's a man on fire right now, and I think even Lyles will find him more than a worthy competitor.
Thank you so much for highlighting Tebogo. I learned of him from you! Everyone deserve recognition. 👏🏽
I'm Kenyan, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish Omanyala and Tebogo the best in the Olympic games.
Thank you for these exciting, informative, and very detailed posts.
NGR's Francis Obikwelu (9.86/19.84) who won WC 200m Bronze in '99 would've been an African Olympic 100m Medallist had he not had huge issues with NGR's Sporting Administration following his terrible experience with them @Sydney '00 that made him (POR) & many others over the yrs like Glory Alozie (SPA) switch Nationalities. Obikwelu went on to win Olympic 100m Silver in '04 for Portugal narrowly losing to Gatlin by 0.01s.
Francis was the Silver medalist for the 100 m 2004 Olympics Gatlin barely beat him to win gold
There was Mary Onyalis bronze in 200 in 1996
Great knowledge
Yes. And Gatlin was found to have used drugs and stripped of his gold medal. Which means an African athlete has indeed won gold!
My takeaway from the Netflix doc is that Elane Thompson-Herra is no longer a threat. Being a diva and walking away from MVP has proven to be a HUGE mistake.
Thank you
Tried to watch it with wife but she thought Noah Lyles was such an asshole could not get beyond the first few minutes
@@Number69 people been saying this what did noah do 😭
@@h4xagon909 I started thinking to myself. Man...what did he do to make them niggas that mad
@@h4xagon909 walking around dressed like a pimp in awful designer clothes, vain, thinking he is above people. Outside of sprinting no one knows him, he should have some humility
That footage of Lyles, Hughes and Tebogo coming off the turn is used a lot and for good reason. It's almost art watching 3 sprinters with perfect form lined up side by side.
Reggie Walker won the 100m in 1908. He was South African of european descent. Local enthusiasts raise money to send him to the Olympics. Apparently hos older brother was faster, but their father refused to let the older abandon his farm work.
So glad you brought attention to this, it's something which many people missed
Totally agree with this information regarding Tebogo. A real talent from Africa. A real contender for a medal in both events. Thanks for mentioning it to all track and field enthusiasts
@totalrunningproductions
Tebogo, who btw won the silver in the 100m and bronze in the 200m wasn’t mentioned once🤦
Yea that was sad
It works that way in every beginning season tho. Mercedes Benz weren’t even in the first drive to survive
Because he’s talking bout the Olympics not the world championships??
Exactly like I was watching the scene how tebogo was storming down the straight to catch noah and they bearly gave it recognition because that was truly legendary, bro even broke the 300m WR and made it look like a walk in the park.
He was in most of Lyles races including the paris diamond league and london diamond league and budapest
Tebogo will medal in both the 100 and 200m
1. Lyles
2. Thompson
3. Kerley
Whose he displacing in the 100👀
@@user-zy2ts9cs2xreplace kerley with bednarek
@@user-zy2ts9cs2x I don't think Kerley will medal. Oblique Seville I think has a better chance for 3rd than Kerley right now. I agree though, I don't see Tebogo medaling in the 100m (though not impossible), I see him medaling in the 200m with Lyles & Bednerak.
@@richardgallimore5976but the thing with people who have good starts like Seville is that they are not very consistent. If he is on form he will medal but who knows if he will be on form
@@JimmyKim-fb1ji I feel like he's more consistent than Kerley. Kerley's times seem to be a bit more all over the place & he didn't make the final last year while Seville did if I remember correctly.
how come theres no 100m/Long Jump specialists like Carl Lewis anymore? It is fear of injury or just increased specialization?
I’m South African and rooting for my fellow brother Tebogo. Do your best!!
I am From Botswana, thank you for showing our African Turbo boy Love..
TRP: when’s the last time an African athlete won either the 100 or 200 meters in the Olympics?
My dumbass: jAmAiCa
💀
Seems more racist than stupid
REGGIE WALKER 100M GOLD MEDALLIST!!! LONDON 1908!!!! FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Fun Fact: Italian national Marcell Jacobs has Ethnic Black American blood, his father's from the United States.
I was literally thinking the same thing about Tebogo when they were showing the London meet. Maybe he declined to be in it or they just didn't go to him. Regardless he deserved a mention.
It’s how they film. This is made by box to box. Same team who made drive to survive so formula 1 fans know ALL to well their process has a habit of missing certain plot lines if they don’t have the film. Verstappen for example literally is not in season one on camera. To which his teammate gets all the FaceTime and the story is written to make him seem slower just by omission . Ironically he swiftly becomes reigning world champion thrice consecutively and is downright unbeatable to this very day it’s madness. It’s pretty obvious the way Tebogo rose to popularity they were not equipped to be agile and adequately cover him. I don’t begrudge that it’s just gonna happen sometimes. BUT they would have known about my girl Ta Lou. I can’t prove it but I bet they filmed her I just wish she had more airtime I’m biased though I admit that
The same thing happened in The Last Dance. Australia was obviously too far to send a camera crew, so the film was edited to make it look like Luke Longley wasn't on the court.
Good observation re Tebogo . However , information is slightly wrong about Namibia being the only African country to win medals in these events . Nigeria’s Mary Onyali won a bronze in the 200m at the 1996 Olympics .
As Africa develops and there are better training facilities their stars will come to dominate the sprints as they’ve done with the distance races and steeple chase
Talking about Americans Jamaican dominance in the shorter distances, Marie Jose ta Lou has world champs silvers in the 100 and 200 metres. Wade van Niekerke of South Africa is 400m world record holder Namibia’s Frankie Frederick’s won silvers in both 200m and 100 at two Olympics, Nigeria’s Innocent Egbunike won an Olympic Bronze in the 400m, Tobi Amusan of Nigeria is 100metres hurdles world record holder at 12.06s, Glorie Alozie of Nigeria won the 100mtrs hurdles silver at the 2004 Sydney Olympics . In the sprint relays Nigeria won silver in the 4x100m men and a Bronze in the 4x100m women at the Barcelona Olympics. They won a Bronze in 200m women at the Atlanta olympics games and the Long Jump women’s Gold in Atlanta, they also won 4x400 gold at the Athens Olympics, and have been quite dominant in the women’s long jump at recent world and Olympics with Ese Brume and Blessing Okagbare winning a clutch of Olympics and world silver and bronze medals between them in recent years, it’s not always been just Americans and Caribbean’s with better sports facilities, training, and nutritional support African athletes are starting to emerge as potential 100 and 200 Olympic champions.
The Sprints often favour the powerfully muscled ‘Eastern West Africa’ type of physique, this physique is native to the rain forest belt of West Africa which stretches from Cote D’Ivoire in the west through , Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria and Western Cameroon. These powerful solidly built types are the African ancestors of black Americans, carribeans and Afro Latinos. The reason they came to dominate the Americas was because they were the only group of kidnapped Africans that had the highest survival rate on the atrocious slave galleons transporting kidnapped Africans for enslavement in the Americas. When the Europeans found that this type of black African had the physical and mental ability stamina and to withstand and survive the atrocities of the Atlantic journey and their enslavement on plantations in the Americas the Europeans re-focused the sources of kidnappings on Eastern West Africa which is the area between present day Togo and Nigeria which officially became known as the slave coast. It is from this area that the overwhelming majority of the ancestors of modern day African Americans, African Caribbeans, and Afro Latinos come from so they inevitably share the same powerful muscled/stocky physiques and genetic traits with their continental Eastern WEST African cousins I.e. the Nigerians, Ghanaians, Ivorians, Togolese, Benin and Cameroonians and these traits determine their success at high energy high intensity sports like the sprints long jumps, boxing soccer basket ball, football . Bantu people who now live in east, central and Southern Africa are also of West African descent having migrated eastwards from the Bantu original homelands in Eastern Nigeria to populate the rest of subsaharan Africa. The dominant long distance runners are East African non-Bantu Rift valley Nilotic African types with slender sleek physiques who share dna genes with south Sudanese, Kenyans Ethiopians Eritreans, Somalians, Rwandans, Ugandans, Chadians etc, these peoples have a physique that suits long distance running and marathon races. They don’t have the powerful muscular build of West African types that you find also in Americas. The high energy power muscle West African physique is great for high intense short bust of energy type of sports like the sprints, long jump, triple jump up to 400 metres and heavy duty fast sports like football, boxing, basketball, wrestling, weightlifting. For example West African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Cote D’ivoire dominate soccer/football on the African continent and in America black Americans dominate football, baseball and basketball. And in Brazil Afro Brazillians do the same with soccer. So it’s down to genetics. West African types in Africa may not have been dominant the 100 and 200 metres simply because Americans have access to the best sporting facilities, coaches and athlete care At least up till recently. When African sprint athletes go to study in America they eventually emerge into .sporting prominence. Corruption and poor economic conditions have marred the development of sports in continental sporting powerhouses like Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon etc but this is becoming a thing of the past as those countries and the rest of subsaharan Africa are starting to move into middle income economic status and their economies are no longer geared to serving their former colonial masters in the West.
Tebogo literally has the 300 WR at 20 years old......beating the 3 emperors of sprinting Bolt, Johnson, and Van Niekerks 300m
AKANI SIMBINE is slept on
Is he going to be in the 2024 Olympics? I haven't heard much about him since the 2022 World Championships. If he's still got the wheels to run
Are you serious? Simbine has been running consistent 9.9x this season, at meets as big as Diamond League @crosslink1493 Surprised you didn't know that if you are currently watching track.
He's really good but he's also getting old
Also hi hinchik from London the have Asian kid. Is being slep on. And in the 400 the 19 year old kid who will run for Canada. An England sprinter also. And doom from Belgium are being slept on.
@@jacobdoyle420dude is commenting while not watching track
What running style Tobogo has. So smooth.
the physical difference between Tebogo and Omanyala is very noticeable but it just shows that when u have speed it doesnt matter
The majority of good sprinters are from african descent.
It's all down to possibilities, trainers, facilities, diet etc.
There will surely be champions born from african countries once conditions and opportunities from birth to pro are improved.
There are already quite a few very good ones now, but in time there will will be more and more, as success breeds popularity among kids, who will become the next generation.
Tebogo not being mentioned was weird but it seemed like the Netflix series placed emphasis on the previous/current world champs and the most engaged target audiences, Europe, America, Caribbean and UK fans.
Im sure he'll be in season 2 if he wins gold or Netflix decides that the African market is a profitable target audience. They gave Omanyala like 10 secs of screen time lol. It comes down to what makes a profitable show at the end of the day.
Can’t send a camera crew with every athlete. Jamaica and USA have multiple athletes so it probably makes more financial sense to just focus on runners from those 2 countries for the most part with the occasional Hughes clip. Let’s see who they follow for season two
Makes sense
Then they shouldn’t have rush to create a documentary if they can’t add the main stuff -
@@Nathaniel676 they had to rush in order to finish on time and get ready for season 2. They had to pick a few people that were locks for medals and with tobogo being so young it’s not hard to imagine not including him on season 1. No need to question it. It was well made for what it was and we should appreciate Netflix for doing what they did. It will help grow the sport.
Tebogo is someone i feel will medal more than Seville or Thompson. He's been more consistent than them in big races for the past couple of yrs...
I'd be so pumped if I were one of those "randoms" (probably still like 10.4 or 10.5 runners, so not slow by any means) that were 2nd & 3rd to Tebogo in that 100m race where Tebogo ran 10.15.
Omanyala, Simbine, Tebogo are the best sprinters from Africa. One will retire soon, one still has a few years left, one's got several years left to prove himself.
This is a US sprint docuseries. It’s not supposed to showcase the whole world. It shows some of the world but its main focus is definitely in the states
But why show Zharnell Hughes instead of Tebogo? Tebogo ran much faster than Zharnell
@brownmamba6538 Because the winner takes the spotlight! One Luv ❤!!!
@@TheTredoc Zharnell didn't win, bro. He didn't even beat Tebogo yet Zharnell got mentioned and Tebogo didn't
@@brownmamba6538probably because he's Canadian. And if we're being honest that race is what put tebogo on the map, before that he wasn't really taken serious
@@wesleyowens4089 he's not canadian Hughes is from the UK, and Tebogo already made some records before that race, your points are not that valid
I am sure that L Tebogo will watch this documental and he will be grateful with you, because you recognize his outstanding still young very talented runner.
As an American, I want Americans to go 1,2,3 in all sprints. And, we have a pretty good shot. Does anyone else wonder about Erriyon Knighton's 19.49 from last year, and why he can't seem to do that again?
Track fans will never be pleased.
Never .....its too funny to watch
@@FollowTheLight- Probably because most of the 'fans' aren't fans
Im a huge Tebogo fan and i hope he wins a gold in Paris but im not sure what sort of shape he's in right now physically and mentally. Either way I'll be cheering for him!
FRANKIE FREDERICKS was amazing we need to give this man his flowers. Seriously legendary
Tebogo's running style reminds me of Michael Johnson. This guy at a young age is a phenom! His last 100m in his 19.50 200m was legendary......
Great observation and video. Tebogo is certainly slept on but I do believe he will shock the world in Paris! 🙌🏾🔥
I think Tebogo is one of the most slept on athletes but it might just be because he doesn't appear to have a specialty. Tebogo looks good in the 100, 200, the rarely run 300, and even the 400.
Jack of all trades but master of none is a crazy way to participate in Track. Usually one uses the other races to strengthen their specialty. What is his specialty though? Is it the 200? If it is the 200, then that may be the hardest race to be the best at because it is Noah Lyle"s best event.
I think Tebogo is amazing but I think he'll eventually need to pick a race. Gaby Thomas just did so on the women's side for the 200. I think it benefitted her and she currently has the top 200 time in the world this year on the women's side although Sherika Jackson is scary competition.
He is young enough to do them all but with the level of competition that exists in the world deciding your main race could help people take him more serious.
Just my uninformed opinion.
He should run the 200 & 400
40 percent Noah Lyle’s 40 percent Sha'Carri Richardson. 20 percent the rest . That’s all the documentary was about
Unfortunately Lyles and Richardson are incredibly unlikeable.
@@XDF745not at all.
@@Nickster7They’re pretty unlikeable.
@@Nickster7 Noah just cocky but he can back it up so well and let’s not forget a couple of years ago Shacarri Richardson was hated for her antics on social media
@@XDF745not true
Before Tebogo, Issac Makwala was one of the premier sprinters running great times in the 200m and 400m.
Please note that you are wrong, in 1908 Reggie Walker won the 100m Gold, he was from South Africa, not Great Brittain.
TRP you've been my number one source of T&F info for years and the only reason I know of a lot more athletes than shown in the very well made Sprint.
I think it's unfair though to expect them, from a far back as when this likely started being planned and produced, to have known tobogo would feature so high in the 23 finals. If drive to survive is anything to go by too, a person has to sign the permission and likely give up quite a lot of privacy to be included as a main star.
Notice many other omissions, 2021 Olympic gold 200m de grasse, 2022 (when they really lock in athletes to feature) silver and bronze 200m Bednarek and Knighton, and that's even with Americans who its cheaper/easier to send a film crew with, compared to Botswana.
The 100 and 200 are stacked this year at the Olympics. It will take a very good number to get just get on the podium.
REGGIE WALKER 100M GOLD MEDALLIST!!! LONDON 1908!!!! FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Proud of Su!
I watched the documentary on Netflix and it was very good. It was ridiculous they only showed Tenogo twice when he came in second twice. He's my sleeper.
It’s gonna be fun !
1980 100m winner Alan Wells from Scotland used to compete without blocks for years.
i noticed the very same thing while I watched the documentary, at least a notable mention if they couldn't get in touch with him but nothing, his name not mentioned once...
Thanks for honoring Africa
I think there will be some exciting upsets… which will surprise everyone and put the underrated athletes on the platform!!!
Su Bingtian is the only sprinter of non-African descent to run the 100 m with sub-9.90 and sub-9.85, and the first ever Asian-born sprinter to break the 10-second barrier.
The Dark Horses are coming
Tebogo might win the 200m Olympics this year
Thank you for all the great track sprinting Videos. My only comment would be not mentioning Andre De Grasse in the 200 and even 100 mix. He is the Olympic 200 gold medalist and six time Olympic medalist . Please don't count out this man because he's healthy and is well known for bringing his best in the big moments. Just sayin..
Thought this was a different upload because it didn’t have the same title as the notif I got
0:27 even longer than that technically, with how TRP phrased it, since both Donovan Bailey (96’) and Linford Christie (‘92) are Jamaican-born.
I don't understand why he was left out but to be fair most of the athletes were from the U.S or Jamaica with one Brit who was actually born in Jamaica but competes for GB. The theme was USA vs Jamaica and Tebogo was not the only top sprinter left out of that series. Next they should include all the sprit events, 100-400, relays and hurdles.
Both Linford Christie and Donavan Bailey, whilst they represented Britain and Canada respectively, were both born in Jamaica also.
Not sure about the 100m, but I can't imagine Tebogo not winning a medal in the 200m. He's such a consistent athlete and able to perform when it matters.
Wayde van niekerk was Africas only hope, but hes never been the same since his injury
Idk if this is a hot take or not, but if noah lyles doesn’t run equal to or sub 9.80 he will not win the 100m dash this Olympics. Prediction: 1. Kishane Thompson 9.78 2. Noah lyles 9.81 3. Letsile Tebogo 9.83
i hope Kishane goes sub 9.75 in the Olympics
@@sabbialmighty7249 i just want to see a 9.7 on the screen, the last couple world events we haven’t gone sub 9.8
Considering that both Cristie and Bailey are Jamaican, its the first time since 1980
Letsile Tebogo and Omanyala can go below 9:80s. (HEAVY SIGH)
It's gonna be a good one, all these sprinters are fast, anything is possible at this point, form will also play a major role, we will see when everything unfolds. 😅
Hasely Crawford won the 1976 Olympics 100m btw
True, but he was from Trinidad & Tobago, in the Caribbean off the north coast of South America. The video was about African sprinters.
Hasely Crawford represented Trinidad and Tobago which is a country in the Caribbean and not in Africa.
Reggie Walker, the winner in the 1908 Games was representing South Africa.
I wanted to mention that too, let's be honest bro. No one's gonna acknowledge him for reasons I want say
@@khumokwezimashapa2245 You can share your opinions about this. Personally, I don’t think he’s not being acknowledged, especially in this video. With his name next to the Union Jack flag in most lists, it’s easy to make a mistake that he was a British athlete. South Africa had genuine representation in the early Olympic Games. There were even Tswana athletes in the marathon of 1904.
@@mduduzigama5534 Ye the old SA flag could be mistake for the U. Jack. However I think Andrew(TRP) specifically missed it by accident.
There's also other reasons he probably isn't acknowledged, but it'll get political.
SA was a former British Colony after all, so if makes sense that he would put GB by mistake.
I hope kishane, tebogo, omanyala and Simbine and the ghanaian team beat the USA
Andrew i thought about why Tebogo was left out?...
Eventhought he wasnt a main athlete showcase atleast they should have mention him getting 3rd at paris and also ar record at diamond league 2023 and u forgot Simbine...😂
Definitely took notice of that London race , and it was mad disrespectful.
Best guess is: distance running may be a greater “equalizer” in terms of available financial resources for training.
100% agree.
But Erin Brown told me not to watch it??
I hope he gets the bronze in the 100m and picks up the Gold in the 200m. He's humble, not flashy didn't lie to cover up any legal issues and he's not chasing after the Hollywood lifestyle to fit in. He's also a natural 400m runner not forcing himself into any event. Tebogo & Marie-Jose out of everyone deserve to run right onto the podium!!! just like geopolitics, the shift is happening in tracks.
Tebogo should be inspired by this exclusion to bring Netflix to shame.
For whatever ever reason since that diamond league race i have had this gut feeling that sometime this season it might not be in the olympics but i believe he will be the one to beat noah lyles and ruin the undefeatedness
It’s not that Tobogo is underrated, everyone who watches track properly knows he’s an incredible athlete, it’s the fact that it’s a Netflix Documentary.
Anyone who’s an F1 fan knows how twisted things get with Netflix narratives.
How much saucy to pronounce Tobogo?
yes .
Thanks
LT looks dangerous!
Was Christian Coleman mentioned in that documentary?
Indeed, leaving out Tebogo was pretty noticeable, especially cause he was rigbt there in these races and doing much better than Hughes. In the docunebtary's defebse, looks like most of the athletes focused were predetermined and they did leave out more popular athletes like Coleman mostly out of it as well.
Co-sign, I was like, he was walking Lyles down! And no mention…
But...Tebogo didn't win. And that's always going to be a factor when an American company is laying out a lot of money to make a "docuseries' about a minor sport in the US. Netflix isn't going to shell out millions to tell the story of an African teenager who ALMOST beat an American "hero." They might as well flush the money down the toilet because that's getting no views. In the end - it's always about the bottom line.
@veritasjustice7878 was it in a World or Olympic final?
I felt the same about Sprint. Kind of disgusting to do Tebogo like that.
Tebogo for the upset in both the 100 & 200
As someone who is well-versed in the sport I understand that the documentary may have left some of us wanting more depth and coverage of emerging and underrated athletes like Ta Lou, Akani Simbine, Letsile Tebogo and Karsten Warholm. However it's important to recognize that the documentary's primary intention was to cater to a broader audience those who are not familiar with the sport. Its goal was to attract new viewers and generate interest in the sport by highlighting well-known personalities. In this regard, I believe the documentary served its purpose effectively.
They know what they are doing and why 😮
If you phrase the question “ how many athletes of African HERITAGE have won sprint medals” then it’s a totally different situation.
I'm rooting for Omanyala! He's been pretty good so far, and I really hope he does well in the Olympics!
Just now , World Record : KIPYEGON Faith 3 : 49.04 WR 1500 m ............ MAHUCHIKH Yaroslava 2.10 WR High Jump........
Do you know his speed in the 400 relay?
And just like Jacobs spiking to that 9.8 for the gold….he hasn’t matched it since. Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in the sprints. But I completely understand since then he’s been plagued by injuries. I love watching all of them race you just can’t guarantee who will win in the Olympics…..many variables few more than the normal demands.
As far as Tebogo….he will get some hardware he’s a rising star. Sometimes he reminds me of Michael Johnson upper body does not move and legs and arms a blur. 😁
Does anyone think that it was weird that the show didn't mention Josephus Lyles at all? There was no mention and he didn't have any talking points or moments. Pretty odd to have noah lyles be a big focus and they don't mention his twin brother that was also a huge track star and is currently a pro sprinter
Josephus is Noah’s younger brother. They are 1 Year apart and not twins
@@nicholaswrighttf240 He's also not really a huge star. He needs to run sub 20 a lot more often
Kenteris won Olympic gold in Sydney 2000 in 200 m, he is Greek!
We've been winning gold
Yeah I have already seen it. It was very interesting, but I would have liked more athletes to be in the series. It was interesting to me the competition between the Jamaican women. I did not know that they don't train together at all. While I like Noah, he got a lot of screen time - too much in my opinion.
People will always bring up Marketing when stuff like this pops up. As someone whos put up competitive numbers in the 60m it is extremely difficult to get noticed and pickup sponsors or even gather support from my home town. Unless you are a true Track Fan names come & go all the time often not getting the respect they deserve. Lets hope Teboga gets his own special in the near future..👍🏽
Akani Simbine , watch the space
lyles will find it hard to get on the 100m podium at the olympics
The history books will be rewritten, thats for sure!
Namibia mentioned.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 will be back!
