Letsile Tebogo

Tens of thousands of people packed a stadium in Botswana to welcome sprinter Letsile Tebogo home, with the country’s first ever Olympic gold medal.

Rapturous supporters waved the country’s blue-and-black national flag as the Olympic team touched down in the capital, Gaborone, on Tuesday.

The athletes paraded around the National Stadium on a rooftop bus, waving at fans enjoying a half-day holiday declared by the president to celebrate Tebogo’s success.

The 21-year-old became the first African to win the men’s 200m when he stormed clear past Americans Kenny Bednarek and Noah Lyles in Paris on August 8.
