Ruele hard pressed to qualify with A standard

However, for her to ensure automatic qualification, she has to attain the A standard meaning she has to clock 25:28.

 Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) chief executive officer, Tuelo Serufho told a press conference yesterday that Ruele has a deadline of July 3 to improve her time. “We trust that the swimmer stands a good chance of getting herself an A standard qualification. The A standard would mean she has automatic qualification.  In that category, there are only 900 slots.  She just has to work extra hard,” he said.
