Tsepo Ramonene (born 30 June 1991) is a long-distance runner from Lesotho.
He represented his country in the 2012 Summer Olympics where he ran the men's marathon in 2:55:54, finishing 85th and last among the classified athletes.[1] It was the second time he had run a marathon.[2]
After walking the majority of the last 3 km, Ramonene summoned the strength to jog over the finish line nearly 48 minutes behind the race winner.[3] Shortly after the crowd cheered him to the finish line, he collapsed with exhaustion.
