On time: BAA automatic timing system PIC: BAA

The Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) has acquired a new Fully Automatic Timing (FAT) system to replace ageing equipment bought in 2014. The new equipment was bought from TimeTronics in Belgium with the support of the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) and the Ministry of Sport and Arts (MOSA).
