Athletes disappointed after botched Relays trip

Botswana’s 4x400m relay team came second in the last edition of the World Relays held in Bahamas in 2017. The team received global admiration after the Bahamas effort, but will be absent in Yokohama, when the competition takes place this weekend (May 11-12).

The men’s team had formidable athletes such as Makwala, Nijel Amos, Onkabetse Nkobolo and Baboloki Thebe. Botswana had qualified for this year’s edition after coming second to Zimbabwe during an athletics meet in Gaborone last month.
