How The Media Systematically Silenced Tebogo’s Victory and Made It About Noah Lyles’s Defeat, the 100m world champion who came 3rd at the 200m race.
How no one from the mainstream media is talking about Letsile Tebogo winning gold without calling Lyles, instead the media coverage is on Noah Lyles having COVID-19. Congratulations on your historic win Letsile, maybe if you had choreographed a faint it would be all over the news cycles.
It’s quite discouraging how most of the mainstream media wouldn’t even let him have the moment that he earned and deserved. That shows the role of the media in discouraging true sportsmanship.
Noah Lyles came into the track field, Making all that noise and making sure all eyes were on him. How about trying this; if Lyles believes that he is the best, he doesn’t have to go around showboating. Lyles is good, he is currently the best in 100m no doubt.
One of the moment many are asking about is why Tebogo raised his footwear to the camera after his victory.
Letsile Tebogo signalled to television cameras after winning the men’s 200 metres final in a heartwarming tribute to his late mother.
The 21-year-old, Letsile Tebogo romped home to Olympic glory, claiming an African record of 19.46 seconds and finishing ahead of USA’s Kenneth Bednarek in second.
Tebogo, who finished in second place behind Lyles in the 100m final, performed an incredible turnaround in his first-ever Olympics.
And the star celebrated in touching fashion by showing his spikes to the camera in honour of his mum who passed away in May.
