PASSOBO secretary general, Titus Kebuileng admitted the blunder in a press conference this week. He said they could have done better to prepare the athlete for the competition.

Kebuileng blamed the coach, Raj Rathedi for not providing them with the correct type of spikes that were needed.

Kebuileng said they tried their best considering the challenges they faced.
