This race is what this guy needed to become a true champion one day. He’ll remember this moment forever and use it as fuel in training

Congrats Afrifah!! And big ups to our Golden boy Tebogo. You made us proud. Go BW. Let's break more records to come.

He need that, humility is key too not just talent

[Didmasela]

The problem I have noticed with Tebogo is that, he is too confident that when he is leading by even a small margin, he starts to slow down and does not accelerate. You can lead a race but have not won it until you cross the finishing line first. He will trully learn from this 200 meters final race that ego is not a good thing.

These young men are incredible!
Congratulations!

כל הכבוד לאפריפה. איזו ריצה מדהימה!!! הבאת כבוד לכל האתלטיקה הישראלית.

Tebogo got a rude awakening, he became complacent, he thought that he cannot be beaten, always respect your opponent young man, I loved to see you run, never underestimate your opponent, sending love to you from Jamaica 🇯🇲❤️🥰

[LaureusSport]

Mindblowing! 🤯 Afrifah scraped ahead by a hair to get that well-deserved win! 💪💪 I'm sure Tebogo will remember this, and be on high alert in future races!

Afrifah looked very strong in semi final and he was definitely a contender for gold. Also, people tend to think that Tebogo isn't running all out just because he doesn't move his arms much.

[sadiemabotho]

You guys take offense to everything. For all we know the athletes he did the 100m final with don't even care about what he did at the end of the race. He said it himself that Bolt is his idol and he was doing that because thats what Bolt used to do at the end of most of his races. And also, Tebogo got a silver medal at last year's world junior championships for the 200m race. So there's no humble pie that was served or whatever. Infact he has improved his time.
Just celebrate Afrifah without "bullying" Tebogo.

[sabaar]

Oh man, track and field excitement is back for real! #2022

[motshwari]

Next year's world championships, Tebogo will be ready to make a statement. He managed to drop his 200m PR from 20.31 to 19.96(-1.0) in one year. Only Junior athlete in history to go sub 10 and sub 20. He'll go way faster next year. Proud of this lad!

The lessons that BOTH learnt today will set their future careers. Well done both.

AFRIFA-NTASTIC! What a race! Keep on the hard work, stay humble and focused. Thanks for this great moment and Best wish of success in the future

[ambrociatango]

I remember when they rejected his first world record... he regained his title... now it's the "stay humble"..this and that.. he will do his part...thre will be more celebrations and boating to come... I've seen a lot of athletes do that...

[moo]

Well he took a huge chunk of humble PIE

[youngheart]

Over half a second improvement in the competition alone. Amazing kid, only 18 years old. He's gonna do more great thing some day. 🤍💙🇮🇱
