Praise for constituency athletics tourney

Kikwe said most of the athletes who reached the finals of the constituency national finals held at the Francistown Sports Complex over the weekend had been groomed through the Botswana Integrated Sport Association (BISA) and the Botswana Primary Schools Sport Association (BOPSSA) structures. He said the problem of ensuring continuity after the athletes complete their studies has been the Achilles’ heel for the athletics body.

“We have lost a lot of promising talent because athletes were not fortunate to continue with their studies and it has always been a problem for us to keep tabs on them after school,” Kikwe said.
