When we asked Letsile Tebogo if he wanted to be the face of track and field moving forward tonight, he replied, "I can't be the face of athletics, because I'm not an arrogant or a loud person like Noah. So I believe Noah is the face of athletics."
Please listen to the way it sounded as tone is important and we didn't think he was taking a big shot at Noah.

Sensible, humble guy despite the huge talent he has. Very easy to root for. Doesn't rub it in your face with post race theatrics like cowboy hats and tiaras. Well done Letsile.

Years ago Katie couric interviewed the Russian rocket, a short distance swimmer… and she asked a similar asinine question… It was.. wow so when you go back to Russia you will be like a movie star. The Russian gave her a blank stare and said- yes but I am real and movie stars are fake!
This is the issue with Americans! There imagination is so rich that they conflate Hollywood with the real world. Lyles is selling.. like every American has to sell sell sell shoes image style.. while other countries look at this as just sport. I guess that makes America great but you get an a$$ clown to lead your country and the rest of the world horrified at your crass display of loud obnoxious behavior.
I don’t have anything against Noah Lyles. I am happy to see him win, but I agree entirely. Noah’s pre race antics and bold statements seem like a very calculated effort, made in coordination with NBC and other major Olympic sponsors, to give him more mass market appeal.
