Botswana's Letsile Tebogo has made history by winning the country's first-ever Olympic gold medal in the 200m event at the Paris 2024 Games. This momentous victory is a proud milestone for Botswana, a nation that has been steadily rising in the world of athletics.

Tebogo delivered a stunning performance, setting a new African record with a time of 19.46 seconds in the 200m final.

Out of the 206 countries participating in the Olympics, 193, including Sri Lanka, 100+ countries have yet to win a gold medal in the 128-year history of the Games. Moreover, over 65 countries have never won an Olympic medal, highlighting the challenges many nations face in achieving this prestigious honor.
