Softly spoken Botswana Olympic champion and ‘arrogant’ American rival set to square off in the 100m, 200m races from Saturday
Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo said on Tuesday he would let his “legs do the talking” in his battle with brash American Noah Lyles at the world championships in Tokyo.
The softly spoken Botswanan won his country’s first Olympic gold medal in any sport in Paris last year, when Lyles finished third.
Tebogo labelled his flamboyant American rival “arrogant” after the race, and Lyles’ outsize character was likely to command the global spotlight again when the world championships begin on Saturday.
