Botswana's Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo stated his "legs will do the talking" at the upcoming World Championships in Tokyo, setting the stage for a highly anticipated rivalry with American sprinter Noah Lyles. Tebogo, who won Botswana's first Olympic gold, is known for his reserved demeanor, contrasting with Lyles's flamboyant style.

• Letsile Tebogo aims for his first world title after securing silver in the 100m and bronze in the 200m at the last World Championships in Budapest two years ago.
• The Olympic Champion emphasized his preference for staying "off the spotlight" but accepted the sport's demands to become a public figure, expressing a desire to inspire children globally through initiatives like the Kids Athletics development program.
• Both athletes are set to compete in the 100m and 200m races, following their recent Diamond League final in Zurich where Lyles narrowly edged out Tebogo by two-hundredths of a second.
