Letsile Tebogo Surpasses Noah Lyles for Track Athlete of the Year Finalist Spot

Lyles, the 2023 winner, is absent from the 2024 finalists as Tebogo and Ingebrigtsen vie for the prestigious award.

Noah Lyles, despite his Olympic achievements, did not make the finalist list for the 2024 World Athletics Awards' Track Athlete of the Year.
Letsile Tebogo, the 200m Olympic champion, and Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the 5000m gold medallist, are the finalists announced by World Athletics.
Lyles won the 100m Olympic gold in Paris but finished third in the 200m, competing despite a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Tebogo's record-breaking performance and growing fan support highlight his rising prominence in the track and field world.
The final decision for the award will include public votes, with the winner to be announced on December 1, 2024.
