Over 30,000 people out in Botswana’s 🇧🇼 biggest stadium to welcome Letsile Tebogo!🤯 This is what the country’s first Olympic GOLD means to them. They got a second public holiday in a week as well for this.

1. Damn, nice welcome ceremony

2. That is fantastic!

   I hope the time comes when there is more parity in medal distribution.

   Less USA/China/(Used to be Russia) and more Anyone might win.

3. 30,000 people in a country of only 2 million is a big welcome.

4. This is really cool to see. Recently Biniam Girmay (from Eritrea) won the green jersey in the Tour de France and got a similarly huge homecoming welcome.

5. What is a “Hotel On Wheels?”

6. Lovely moment to capture. They also had an absolutely brilliant 4×100 as well, those silvers deserve to be celebrated as well!

7. Looks like it was also used as an opportunity to showcase/promote loads of other athletes, and just sport in general.

   Not just a lovely celebration but a super smart call at a policy level (especially in a country like Botswana that has such a large youth population).

8. I dig the music

9. Wow some western countries could learn a little from this. What a show of joy and celebration!

10. Super classy. Awesome to see them celebrating sport in general.

11. Does anyone know what song is playing?

12. I guess Letsile’s gold is so heavy that it’s almost tipping the bus over
