Heartbreak for table tennis stars

Botswana’s top table tennis players had initially been told that they would represent the country in the Commonwealth Games.  However, the Botswana Table Tennis Association (BTTA) announced that they will not travel to New Delhi because they did not make the cut. The Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) indicated that for the players to be eligible, they should have won individual medals at Zone VI Championships and be ranked in the top 20 in Africa. 

BTTA president, Robert Maabong, said that the non-participation in the Commonwealth Games is a complicated matter.
