Botswana sprinter Letsile Tebogo just received one of the biggest, and most awesome homecomings in sports history ... over 30,000 fans filled a stadium to welcome the Olympic hero home after beating U.S. track star Noah Lyles in Paris!
The festivities went down on Tuesday ... as tens of thousands of fans showed up to welcome back their athletes who competed in the Paris Olympics thanks after President Mokgweetsi Masisi declared the day a holiday.
