Letsile Tebogo continues to impress at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, leading the Botswana men’s relay team to the finals on Friday.
The newly crowned 200m Olympic champions inspired Botswana’s 4x400m relay team to the final after beating the Americans and Great Britain in their Heat.
Tebogo made the difference for the Botswana relay team after coming on as a late substitution for Leungo Scotch and running in the first leg to give his country the lead in Heat 1.
The African nation finished ahead of the United States of America with a season’s best time of 2:57.76.
Now, Botswana will hope to better the bronze medal finish in the Tokyo 2020 Games when they battle for the gold medal in the Paris 2024 Games.
Other African nations through to the final are Zambia and South Africa, with Mzansi sealing qualification after one of their athletes got impeded by a Nigerian runner following a changeover.
