Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo said on Tuesday that he would let his ‘legs do the talking’ when he battles with fierce rival Noah Lyles at the World Athletics Championships which kicks-off on September 13 here. 

The soft-spoken Botswanan won his country’s first Olympic gold medal in any sport at the Paris Olympics last year, where Lyles finished third. Tebogo labelled his flamboyant American rival ‘arrogant’ after that race, and Lyles’s outsized character is likely to command the global spotlight again.
