We already knew about IShowSpeed's incredible ability in any sport that involves physical power, especially leg power. However, today he has surprised us again. The American content creator, who has already proven to be faster than the vast majority of people, has just beaten an Olympic gold medalist.
During his tour of Africa, he met Letsile Tebogo, Olympic champion in the 200 meters representing Botswana, and challenged him to a race... which he ended up winning, although with a small slip from his rival.
IShowSpeed beats this Olympic medalist
In 2024, the Paris Olympics crowned Letsile Tebogo as the fastest man in the world in the 200 meters. He thus became the first representative of Botswana to win an Olympic gold medal.
At 22 years of age, he is still competing at the highest level, but he has agreed to compete with IShowSpeed in front of the cameras on his tour of Africa. This has led him to fall against the streamer, although it is true that there is a 'but' to put to the victory of the streamer.
In addition to the fact that they have not competed in Tebogo's star discipline, as the race seems to be less than 200 meters, the professional runner slipped as soon as he started. A mistake that was probably lethal, since, at the moment when he recovered and began to accelerate was close to catching the American.
Of course, this does not mean that Speed is at the level to really compete with the best professionals in the world in athletics, and he is still far from the level needed for the Olympic Games. However, it does show that the streamer's physical base is not that of an average person, and that it would not be unusual to see him competing in major amateur or semi-professional races.
