Jealous football steals shine off athletics’ Grand Prix

All sports talk was expected to be dominated by Botswana’s hosting of arguably the country’s biggest sporting event, the Golden Grand Prix. It has been all positive with news that top athletics stars are heading to Gaborone for this weekend’s athletics jamboree.

The last minute withdrawal of major draw card, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has chipped off some shine but the event remains as formidable as ever with the likes of Kirani James, Ande de Grase expected to touch down at the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport this week.
