"Let the legs do the talking" - Letsile Tebogo opened up on his approach towards competing

In November 2024, Letsile Tebogo opened up on his approach to competing in an event. He acknowledged that athletes have different personalities, with some being outspoken and lively, and others being more reserved and quiet.

He further expressed his preference for humility and focus over attention-seeking behavior, staying silent and letting his performances speak for themselves, rather than drawing attention through words or bold actions.

“Athletes are all different, there’s the loud ones, there’s also the quiet ones," Tebogo said. "So I prefer being silent and just let the legs do the talking. I’ve always been a reserved person, so athletics won’t change the person who I am. "

He added:

"So I believe silence is the way."

Along with the gold medal in the 200m, he led his national squad to silver medal in the 4x400m relay race by running the anchor leg. Tebogo also competed in the 100m and settled in sixth place after registering a time of 9.86 seconds, marking a new national record.
