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.
