Botswana eyes record Olympics contingent

This would be the highest number ever as the Botswana National Olympics Committee (BNOC) wants to give Botswana a perfect birthday present with an improved medal haul.

 Four years ago in London, Botswana finally broke the jinx when Nijel Amos became the first local athlete to win a medal, finishing with a silver medal in an 800metre race described as the fastest in history. “We want to give the nation a perfect birthday present. We want to perform better than we did in London,” said BNOC chief executive officer, Tuelo Serufho.
