Proud moment: The men’s 4x400 relay team PIC: WORLD ATHLETICS

In the wee hours of Sunday morning, Batswana braved the early winter cold to stay up and witness a historic win by the 4x400m men's relay team.

The team bagged a historic gold medal at the 2024 IAAF World Athletics Relays held in Nassau, The Bahamas, on Saturday and Sunday.

This was the third medal for the team in as many appearances in the competition. However, Sunday's triumph was the best performance since their first participation in 2017. The team became the first African nation to win a medal in the men's sprint event at the World Athletics Relays.
