History-making Walker eyes Glasgow success

Walker made history by winning the country’s first gold medal in an international squash event in his maiden appearance for Botswana at the Men’s Individual All-Africa Championship in February last year. On his way to glory, he beat Zambia’s Kelvin Ndlovu.

He is elated to have bagged the Sportsman of the Year accolade that came with P20,000 prize money. “I am honoured and delighted to receive this award. I didn’t expect that a squash player could win over more accomplished and media covered sports. I must credit the BNSC for their fair and honest judgment. Politically, they have a tough job and they are handling it nobly,” he said.
