Well done to our Olympians!

Botswana's remarkable performance at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is a moment of immense pride and celebration for the entire nation.

Our 4x400m men's relay team has etched their names in the history books, securing a silver medal with a stunning time of 2:54.53—a new African Record. This incredible achievement, coupled with Letsile Tebogo's gold medal in the men’s 200m race, marks the first time in history that Botswana has won two medals in a single edition of the Olympic Games.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our medallists, the entire Botswana team, their dedicated coaches, and the tireless support staff who have worked relentlessly to bring glory to our country. Their hard work, perseverance, and commitment have paid off, and they have made us all proud.
