BNOC undecided on sending team to Olympics

Last week, a petition calling for the cancellation of Games due to the COVID-19 pandemic has received more than 200,000 signatures in two days.  With two months to go before the Olympics, Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) is yet to decide whether it will send a team or not. BNOC president, Botsang Tshenyego told Mmegi Sport their decision regarding sending a team to the Olympics is yet to be established.

“Our decision would be a national one with all facts on the table, but for now we stand with the International Olympic Committee (IOC). They are well-advised and have the safety and welfare of athletes at the centre of whatever conclusion,” Tshenyego said.
