Flag issues: Karabo Sibanda was part of the 4X 400m that swept the gold in Ethiopia

Following Sunday’s embarrassing gaffe, which saw the Botswana junior 4 x 400m relay team without a flag after their victory, the Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) says it is waiting for an explanation from the team manager, Glody Dube.

The team won the race in 3:11:00, but their moment of glory suffered a knock when they failed to get a flag for their victory lap.
