Letsile Tebogo has been nominated as one of the six finalists for a top award in the 2024 World Athletics Awards, but American sprinter Noah Lyles did not make the cut.
Lyles missed the cut after failing to make the final round of the Male Track Athlete of the Year Award. The 100m Olympic champion, along with Rai Benjamin, Emmanuel Wanyonyi, and Grant Holloway, was one of the first nominees in their category but failed to advance to the next round after the first voting process concluded.
According to IOL, Tebogo and Norway’s long-distance runner, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, are the two finalists for the World Male Track Athlete of the Year.
Ingebrigtsen also had an excellent season, winning gold in the 5000m race at the Olympics after a poor performance in the 1500m race.

The winner will be determined by votes and the voting process closes on Sunday, November 10, 2024, at 11:59PM CET.
The winner of the award between the six top athletes will be announced on Sunday, December 1, 2024.
