Athletes ready for opening Olympic races

 Amantle Montsho, Nigel Amos and Isaac Makwala carry the nation's hope in acquiring the first Olympic medal, with Oteng Oteng already out of the competitions following a controversial judges' decision on Monday.

Montsho starts her campaign tomorrow in round one of the women's 400 metres. According to Otsetswe, Montsho is in fine shape and ready to start the chase for that elusive Olympic medal. Montsho is the current African, Commonwealth and World champion in the category.
