Tebogo: "I can't be the face of athletics, because I'm not an arrogant or a loud person like Noah..(he's) the face of athletics"

It was the ultimate shade.

Slap him up the back of the head with one hand and shake his hand with the other.

yes please listen as tone is important as we don't think he was taking a big shot at noah as we think he was taking small shot at noah

Rojo you wrote the quote wrong as here's the quote: "I can't be the face of athletics as I'm not an arrogant or a loud person like Noah as I believe Noah is the face of athletics as he's an arrogant and loud person"

Noah came off looking like a clown.

He is playing the part of heel, but this aint the WWE where they script it out. Now he gets to the backside of acting like an @ss clown.

OK, so Lyles acts immaturely, and Tebogo acts coolly. Take your pick.

Tebogo!

the Motswanas tend to be a modest quiet people, Letsile is probably just trying to say he's not comfortable doing the kind of things Noah does..

Why was the 200M gold medalist asked this question? Are all gold medalists asked this? Sounds like a set up to get him to say something controversial.

They're*.

The sport needs its athletes to be spokespeople who promote the sport. Lyles does that. He posted the following on Instagram, and he is right:

“I hope everyone enjoyed the show. Whether you were rooting for me or against me, you have to admit you watched, didn’t you?”

Lyles does have the personality and demonstrated results to promote the sport. But jumping around and running up the track before the race while everyone else is behind their blocks is a poor showing of sportmanship and it disrespects the other runners.

Not a Lyle’s fan but this kid is way off. This is your first time winning anything. Your 21. Go when a bunch of championships then you’ll be the face of track even being the shy guy if you want. Wtf is he talking about. This is the epitome of win once and think you’re there. Stay there then start talking.

Seriously tho what is he talking about. Suds the face and all she talks about is Jesus. Safp was the face and never talked. Bolt was/is the face and all he did was a bow and arrow. I liked this kid too but this is more annoying then the dumb stuff Lyles does.

100% - Assume he meant something like super-confident/outspoken, and didn't get the negative connotation of "arrogant"

I don't know if it's actually you, or just someone else with the same username, but eyy, Jakob is not the person you think he is.

Noah is annoying. He's fast and has consistently proven people wrong and his 100 win is impressive given he's a 200?lm specialist, but he's still more annoying than if Nick Symmonds and Allie Ostrich had a baby

Noah is playing a character and trying to be something he isn't. He's a nerd, he should embrace that. He probably has beyblades or watches Naruto yet he acts tough and like a gangster in public trying to create a brand to compete with other athletes. I respect him as an athlete but his brand is just being annoying and it's obvious that's not who he really is.

I can't wait for Sprint 2.0
