Letsile Tebogo on if he aspires to be the face of track and field

When Grant ran in the 4x4 in college he split 43.75 at NCAAs.
He was a national champion long jumper.
He was on the 4x1 team that set a national record at the time.

He is just an incredible athlete. But the thing he doesn't get enough for is how technically sound he is. He rarely even hits any hurdles in big meets. He may not always win, but someone has to come up and beat him, he doesn't give it away.

Genuinely happy for him, he deserved this.

Lyles basically said he's not doing the 4x100. Would love to see Grant jump on that train

Ah, the old Jameis Winston "look at me, I'm more humble than the other guy" approach.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

What the hell was that from Quincy Wilson. That was incredibly slow and put the US in a major bind

47.27 from Quincy Wilson… was not expecting that! But opening a relay at 16 must be nerve wracking! There were so many options but USATF gave in to the pressure and put him on there

Didn't think they let Shamier Little run this one, but hot damn! 49.22!!!!! Fastest US leg! She was the only sub 50 split in the entire prelim field! Way to go Shamier! I know missing out in the hurdles 3 straight years has to be extremely frustrating and disappointing, but I'm glad she ran the open 400 at the trials and got the chance to be an Olympian! She helped the mixed relay break a record then get a silver medal, now she might just help this relay win the gold!

Shamier Little, Bryce Deadmon, and Charokee Young all ran the 4x400 and helped their team advance!

Brandon Miller got 5th in his heat, but having to run the repechage round yesterday then a fast semi was a tall task! He gave himself a chance but just didn't have the kick! Was .4 from making the final! A great experience for Miller at only 22 years old! He'll be back and maybe with another/other Aggies running the 800 next Olympics!

I don't think anyone expected him to run 3 seconds slower than what he's ran all season. Hate to see that

SO good, thank you for sharing. Annoyingly, the Peacock app didn't have this replay snipped. I had to scroll and watch way too many ads but finally found this race.

Different story. First time Botswana has ever won a gold. Do you know what crap Botswana went through to become Botswana?

Oh so you can gloat if your country was a former colony and had slaves....oh wait....

Come on dude....just saying it was far from just Lyles. I've seen DOZENS of athletes do it. From many varied countries. I'm sure many have heroic stories. But only Lyles is getting flack for it. Just admit it for what it is. People don't like him. So be it. It's not a popularity contest.

Don't be fooled, these guys all have a little of that in them. He also acknowledged the sport needs brashness.

Anna Hall will need an insane 800m to get back up to the podium. Still in 5th after 6 events

I think she needs to beat both Vidts and Klin by about 7-8 seconds.

Holy crap I don't think I need to see Gabby Thomas on this relay again, she doesn't know how to get started in the zone.

American tradition. They need to fire whoever is doing the USATF relay coaching. Its always awful
