Athletics Triggers Joy And Hope For Podium Finish

Congratulatory messages on social media were led by President Mokgweetsi Masisi and his cabinet. The excitement was kicked off by 800m men’s world number one,  Nijel Amos on Saturday when he qualified for the semi final. The duo of Isaac Makwala and Leungo Scotch also qualified for the 400m semi finals yesterday.

Makwala had an easy day in office and he was the fastest man in his heat. He stopped the clock at 44.86 to book himself a spot in the semi final scheduled for tomorrow at midday. He has also qualified for the 2022 World Athletics Championships scheduled for Oregon, United States of America.
